Competitiveness and the Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

Tony McCormack (Offaly, Fianna Fail)
I will be very quick because I only have two minutes. We all know the issues we have with Dublin Airport and that we must raise passenger capacity. In fairness to him, the Minister has worked on legislation so I hope we will have that sorted by next year. Not that long ago, I would always say that certain things would happen in my lifetime. I now say that I hope they will happen in my lifetime but, if not, they will be here for the good of the country. Do the witnesses think we should have a second airport close to Dublin to reduce congestion in light of the issues around passenger numbers?
