Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

These aspects are covered in the recommendations in the task force's interim report and have been the subject of my consultations with other Ministers. They will be very important.

In addition, the Lynx Cargo Group signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dublin Airport Authority in March 2009 to explore jointly the feasibility of developing a major cargo facility at Shannon Airport. That report will be made available shortly to the Minister of Transport and I have spoken to him about it.
