Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

Tá áthas orm deis a bheith agam cúpla focal a rá maidir le cinneadh Aer Lingus faoi Aerfort na Sionna. Caithfidh mé a rá, ar nós gach ball eile den Rialtas, go raibh an-díomá orm maidir leis an gcinneadh úd. Caithfimid socrú céard a dhéanfaimid faoi agus conas a dhéanfaimid cinnte go mbeidh seirbhísí cuimsitheacha ar fáil ó Aerfort na Sionna.

I congratulate Ireland West Airport Knock on today's announcement of a radical extension of its services to London Gatwick. Ireland West Airport Knock has shown great initiative and determination in building up that airport. As the Minister concerned I am delighted that the Government has been working hand in glove with the airport to achieve these results.

I have a passionate interest in balanced regional development which I do not regard as being one area——
