Ceist:26 Ms O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Public Enterprise the position in relation to the report regarding the future of Aer Rianta; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9131/99]
Written Answers. - Aer Rianta.
Last August, I asked the chairman of Aer Rianta to carry out a review of the full range of development options for the company and to reflect on what might be the most appropriate direction for Aer Rianta in the years ahead.
I expect the board to report to me shortly and, until I have given that report and its recommendations full consideration, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the future direction of Aer Rianta. The process of engaging consultants to assist me in my examination of the report is under way. Ultimately, any decision on Aer Rianta's future will, however, be a matter for Government, following a recommendation by myself.
