Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

Has the Minister discussed with the Dublin Airport Authority its whole approach to property development? While I commend it on its work on terminal 2, the fact it is involved in this development company, Turckton Developments, raises some concerns.

Mr. Declan Collier, chief executive officer at Dublin Airport Authority, will appear before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport this afternoon. His overall remuneration package last year came to over €600,000 while his basic salary is €348,000. Does that accord with the guidelines rightly laid down by the Government on executives' salaries in semi-State bodies, given the overall national fiscal position?
