Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

Is the Minister aware of the comments made by Gary McGann to the members of the Joint Committee on Transport to the effect that the three business plans were far from finalised and that there were major problems associated with agreeing them?

What of the former Minister's talk of Cork and Shannon airports starting off on a clean slate? Does the Minister, Deputy Cullen, accept that a political decision needs to be taken on the future of Aer Rianta International and the Great Southern Hotels group before the business plans can be finalised?
