Deputies:

The Dublin Airport Authority has statutory responsibility for the operation, management and development of Dublin Airport.

Deputies:

As such, it is responsible for developing a strategy for increasing passenger numbers and I know that it is very active in this regard. It also operates under a clear commercial mandate and is not in receipt of any Exchequer support. Accordingly, issues such as the scale and management of its debt is the sole responsibility of the company and I have no function in these matters

Deputies:

On airport charges, the Commission for Aviation Regulation regulates airport passenger charges levied at Dublin Airport. Again, I have no function in the matter. The Deputy will be aware that the question of any possible sale of State assets is one that is currently being considered by the review group on State assets and liabilities, headed by Mr. Colm McCarthy.
