Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following specific matter of public interest requiring urgent attention, namely, the serious implications for the future viability of Cork Airport of the decision of the Government to require the airport to meet debts of €100 million, despite having previously promised it would be debt-free; and the need for the Government to review this decision and to honour the commitment previously made in writing by the former Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan. In view of the importance of the issue I hope the Ceann Comhairle agrees to this request.
