Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

On the question of the terminal, the Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Deputy Callely, announced that a decision would be made on the second terminal. The Minister mentioned the possibility of a competing terminal. Is it possible, given the present structure of the Dublin Airport Authority which provides not only a terminal but also other services, to have real competition where another terminal competes with the existing one which also provides these shared services? Is it not leaving one of them in a dominant position? Is it possible to have that type of competition arrangement and has the hiving off of the terminal from the Dublin Airport Authority been considered?
