The scheme was envisaged originally under the Finance Act 2013 but never materialised as a result of rules on state aid. There was quite a bit of argument or discussion or debate at the time that it should be extended, in particular, if memory serves me correctly, to benefit Ireland West Airport Knock. That was obviously not agreeable to the Government and the Minister at the time. The Minister mentioned that it is now available to all airports. Is it just available to airports?
