Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. Having been one of the leads in the negotiations for the programme for Government, I know the conversation on this was very clear. We need to support Dublin Airport but we also need to support our regional airports. We need to ensure people living outside our capital city in our rural towns and villages have access to perhaps not the same level, but to an increased level, of air connectivity. That is why those commitments were made in the programme for Government.

I do not have a timeline for the review but I will certainly ask the Minister for Transport to come back and engage with the Deputy directly on it.
