Some of what relates to regional airports, particularly in connection to Shannon, relates to capital expenditure. Part of what the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, will set out as part of his sectoral investment plan is how aviation and the regional airports programme interacts with that as part of the five-year strategy. The aviation division of the Department of Transport is conscious of what Shannon Airport has stated on the matter. However, it is more so a matter of how we plan capital in the medium term than it is a matter of budget day decisions.
