I would rubbish that. Let us consider the extraordinary work done at Cork Airport in the renovation and refurbishment of large elements of the airside infrastructure, including the new runway. That work was done in record time and under fantastic leadership within the DAA, particularly in Cork. I am sure that Senator Buttimer will concur. Infrastructure delivery in Dublin seems to be happening at a snail's pace, though.

I find something else a little odd, so Mr. Moriarty might provide some information. The cost of the new northern runway at Dublin Airport was high compared with what was provided at Cork. The Dublin runway is much longer, but I am at a loss as to why the cost was so high.
