3. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the upcoming policy document on Ireland’s aviation policy will take into account the European Commission's guidelines on state aid to airports and airlines with regard to reducing State funding, specifically for Waterford Regional Airport; if he supports these guidelines; if he anticipates the Government and local authorities reducing funding to Waterford Regional Airport under the new aviation policy; his views that reducing state aid to Waterford Regional Airport could have a detrimental effect and ultimately hinder economic growth and deter multinational investment in County Waterford; if he will provide an update on the proposed runway extension at the airport; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
