This question relates to the development of a new National Aviation Policy. Following a consultation process over the last year I intend to publish a draft National Aviation Policy for Ireland next week. This will be available on my Department’s website . The consultation process covered all elements of aviation policy and the draft National Aviation Policy takes account of the submissions received. When published, stakeholders will have an opportunity to provide further input before the policy is formally adopted and published later this year. The closing date for submissions will be 31 July. This new policy will be designed to ensure that the right conditions exist for a flourishing aviation industry into the future. It will facilitate the expansion of the industry, help make it more competitive, tackle barriers to growth and facilitate the development of new air transport links.
