On the regional airports, I have met the stakeholders of Waterford Airport on two or three occasions. The Government is committed to the regional airports which, if they are within the restrictions imposed by EU rules, will continue to get funding. However, if they are in the breach of the rules, they will not get funding. I visited Farranfore Airport in Kerry. I have not been to Ireland West Airport Knock yet but I intend to go there fairly soon.

The Department met representatives of the Irish Exporters Association quite recently.
