I propose to take Questions Nos. 651, 673 and 674 together.
As the Deputy is aware, following receipt of the Booz Report on the future ownership and operation of Cork and Shannon airports, my Department is currently involved in detailed engagement with all relevant stakeholders on the issues involved. When that process has been concluded, I will then be in position to bring proposals to Government on future policy regarding the separation of the State airports.
