There is a request from Shannon Airport for the establishment of a PSO to provide connectivity between it and an EU hub. That is under consideration by the Department. Last week, I announced a mid-term review of the regional airports programme, as I want to give an opportunity for aviation stakeholders such as airports and this committee, which is interested in this space, to feed into an issues paper. That paper will form the questions in a public consultation process on the review of the regional airports programme. The paper will cover what issues we want people to explore.
