I approved a grant of £375,000 to Waterford Airport for the period 1998-99 in respect of a £500,000 runway improvement project. To date £366,000 of the grant has been paid out and the project is largely completed. A further application for financial assistance was received from Waterford Airport last Friday, 25 May 1999, in respect of a proposed extension of their runway. That application is being considered in my Department at present.
