I asked about the purpose of the increased funding to the regional airports. It is a 114% increase on the 2018 Estimate so what is that for, what are the expected benefits of this funding and how will such benefits be measured?

I am quite confident that the DAA will be prepared for Brexit but that is not the question I asked. The question I asked related to the national aviation policy, a Government policy. The part of it the Minister is responsible for stated that an overall freight policy for Ireland, covering all modes, will be developed with a view to ensuring the continued competitiveness of the freight sector. What is the status of that freight policy?
