I support these amendments. These three amendments and the enactment of the Finance Bill, in its final form, are extremely important for the mid-west and Shannon Airport in particular. The airport has had a bumper year in terms of growth in passenger numbers. The creation of the international aviation services centre at Shannon is the second piece of the jigsaw. Issues have arisen in the context of the European Commission but, thankfully, these will be resolved by the inclusion of these amendments in the legislation. I again express my support for them.
