Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I know of no business that does not have some debt attaching to it. There were many interpretations of some of the comments made at an early phase. I had meetings with representatives of Cork, Shannon and Dublin airports and there is no question but that everybody wants the airports to become independent as quickly as possible. People want Cork and Shannon airports to operate on the most viable and commercially sound grounds. I will wait for the business plans before demonstrating how this is to be achieved.
