Those are issues which I would like to discuss with the Deputy in greater detail, such as moving Shannon Heritage to a better home. That would take some detailed examination but I note the Deputy is concerned about its current operations in terms of its low level of activity and the impact on employment. I hope there might be opportunities arising out of the stimulus package that may be of interest and of use to Shannon Heritage.

I will speak to the tourism Minister on the issues the Deputy raised. I will also speak to the transport Minister on the wider and fundamental questions the Deputy asked on Shannon Airport itself, as well as the appointment of a board.
