While the figures for 2016 and 2017 represent grant payments made to the airports in each of those years, the figures for Donegal, Kerry and Knock airports in 2018 represent the capital allocations for those airports that I announced on 28 May last. The works covered by those allocations are currently underway and the associated grant payments will be made when these works are completed later in the year.
