Richard Bruton
Ceist:455 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Transport his current plans in relation to the construction of a new independent terminal at Dublin Airport, the framework which he intends to introduce to ensure that there is a level playing pitch for competition between a new entrant and the existing terminal operation, his views on the concern expressed that Dublin Airport will be unable to compete on an equal basis with a new entrant due to the level of debt which he proposes to transfer from Shannon and Cork to the Dublin operation, and if he will make a statement on the matter.
