19 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Defence whether he intends to carry out a feasibility study on the operation of Baldonnel Airport as a commercial entity. [14175/96]
Following a Government decision earlier this year that the development of Baldonnel as a second commercial airport for the Dublin area would not be in the interests of the aviation sector and the economy generally, I have been examining the use of the facilities at Baldonnel for private executive air travel. These considerations are ongoing and I expect to have a report on the matter in the very near future.
