Vol. 174 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Casino Proposals.

6.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he has yet received a report from Bord Fáilte Éireann on the proposals for the provision of a casino; and if he has reached a decision on the matter.

7.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if there are any proposals before his Department for the building of a casino at Shannon Airport.

I propose, with the permission of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 6 and 7 together.

I have not yet received a report from Bord Fáilte Éireann and, accordingly, I am not at present in a position to consider the matter or to make any statement.

Has the Minister seen a recent newspaper report, which appeared, certainly, in one of the Limerick papers, that a gentleman who visited Limerick a few weeks ago intended to establish a casino, amongst other activities, at Shannon Airport and has his Department had any representations in the matter from this gentleman?

I have seen the newspaper report. That is all I know about it.
