View answerIn November last year, my Department issued a request for tenders to procure consultants to undertake a review of the future capacity needs at Ireland's State Airports. The terms of reference are published on my Department's website and may be accessed using the following link: http://www.dttas.ie/aviation/publications/english/capacity-review-request-tenders-2016.
Tenders to undertake this review have been received and are currently being assessed within the Department. It is expected that the contract to undertake the review will be awarded to the preferred bidder shortly. It is intended that the review will be completed by the middle of this year.
