I am in the same position as I would have liked to have heard the Minister's whole contribution. In fairness, on Committee Stage the Minister explained the incentive would be universally applicable to all airports, but he also stated it was designed specifically for Shannon Airport or that the airport would benefit potentially from it. Is there not a concern that Shannon Airport can do this on its own and does not require investors? Accordingly, the problem is that Ireland West Airport would need an investor, while Shannon Airport can do it on its own and use the capital allowances against its income. Will the Minister address that issue in his final reply?
