In the not-too-distant past, the Government promised legislation to amalgamate Shannon Development and Shannon Airport.

The Taoiseach indicated that the promised legislation would be delivered in this House before the summer recess. We had a difficult situation yesterday whereby the chairperson of the new independent Shannon Airport Authority had to go public and effectively criticise the Government for not moving more quickly in bringing this legislation forward. Can the Taoiseach please tell the House when he intends to publish this legislation?
