Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

The existing network of State airports and regional airports is adequate to cater for the air transport needs of all parts of the country for the foreseeable future. There are currently no plans to Exchequer finance the development of any new regional airports in the Border, Midlands and Western Regional Assembly region.
