Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

We indicated to the company on 21 July that the DAA was at an advanced stage with another party about the use of hangar 6 and our suggestion was that the best way forward was for direct contact between the DAA and the company. The IDA, on my behalf, was willing to chair such a meeting. Following considerable correspondence, the company found it was not in a position to directly involve itself in those negotiations.
