Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Last week the Minister for Transport, Deputy Cullen, said an independent terminal at Dublin Airport in competition with other terminals was not feasible or practical. Yesterday's decision in respect of terminal two, and the future prospect of an independent terminal three, is a contradiction of the Minister's views. Following the Government's decision, will legislation be introduced for this? Does the brief given to the current aviation regulator allow for competition between terminals, as now seems to be the case?

In view of the commitment given by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment for a super consumer agency with real powers, is the Government willing to use the template brought forward in the Fine Gael Party's Private Members' Bill that proposed such an agency? It was voted down last November.
