Mr. Ken Spratt:
I thank the Deputy and note her comments on Rosslare. I will engage with the OPW and Peter Walsh on that and I will come back to her. It would be helpful if she could send me a copy of the letter.
I will ask Mr. Towey and Mr. Clonan to come in, but before I do, the funding that was provided to Waterford Airport during 2020 was quite limited. It was current funding only of €375,000. If Mr. Towey does not mind, he might come in on the other questions about the runway and after that, Mr. Clonan might address the questions on the Coast Guard. With your permission, Chair, I will ask Mr. Towey to take the question on the runway.
