Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 May 2018
504. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if consideration will be given to the possibility of renaming Dublin Airport as Lemass international airport Dublin; and if he will re-examine plans from 2009 with a view to bringing this forward (details supplied). [22312/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I advised the Deputy on a previous occasion, it is my understanding that the suggestion to rename Dublin Airport as Seán Lemass Airport arose a number of times in the past and was given serious consideration back in 2010. However, previous Ministers decided against such a change. I can confirm again that I agree with those decisions of previous Ministers and that I have no plans to change the name of Dublin Airport.
