Michael McNamara (Clare, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Chair for the opportunity to speak on this important motion for the constituency I represent, Clare. I understand the Opposition spokesperson, who is also from the constituency, Deputy Dooley, has outlined his opposition to this measure. I do not wish to characterise unfairly what he has said and I understand his opposition is two-fold, first he is concerned that the plan is overly ambitious and second, that Aer Rianta International will remain with the Dublin Airport Authority. I note the Deputy assents to that characterisation of his opposition.
