Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 June 2023
54. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence the estimated cost to extend the runway at Baldonnel Casement Aerodrome to be able to handle A380-type aircraft; and if consideration has been given in the past ten years to date to disposing of or transferring the land to another State body. [29935/23]
View answerThe Property Management Branch of my Department has not been advised of any current operation requirements for the extension of runways at Casement Aerodrome as referenced by the Deputy and as such the Defence Forces Built Infrastructure Plan does not provide for such works. It is assumed the Deputy is referring to the disposal of lands at the Aerodrome, I am advised that no such consideration has been given to the disposal or transfer of lands to another State body.
