Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I have two specific questions. Could the Minister explain why the Government did not follow independent advice, when the building of a second terminal at Dublin Airport was being planned, to have it built and operated by an operator independent of the Dublin Airport Authority? Has the Government considered the option of either leasing or selling one of the terminals at Dublin Airport, in order to have competition between the two terminals and to get prices down and services up?
