In response to questions raised by my colleague Deputy Mac Lochlainn last month, the Taoiseach agreed to engage with the Minister for Transport on the restoration of Government funding to the City of Derry Airport. If the airport is not eligible for funding from the Irish Exchequer under the regional airports programme, the shared island initiative is an obvious option to explore. I know the Taoiseach is aware how significant connectivity is. The Departments of an Taoiseach and Transport recently committed to a review of air routes between Dublin and Derry as well as Cork and Belfast. Can we get an update on that?
