(23 Jun 2010)

(23 Jun 2010)

Fergus O'Dowd: The last part of the reply seems to indicate that the Minister would consider selling off the Dublin Airport Authority given certain guarantees on regulation. An article by Pat Leahy in The Sunday Business Post dated 13 June states that proposals for a broad asset sale are being drawn up in the Department of Finance without being discussed by the relevant Ministers. Is the Minister aware of...

(23 Jun 2010)

Fergus O'Dowd: One of the criticisms parties such as Ryanair make of the DAA is that it is not competitive enough and that its price structure is not competitive enough. Issues arise also about terminal 2 which will now be run by the DAA. I accept that is part of a later question on a lack of competition. A significant number of international airlines that work out of Dublin have not as yet agreed to...

Fergus O'Dowd: Question 35: To ask the Minister for Transport if the failure to decide on a charge for passengers using Terminal two is having an impact; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27259/10]

Airport Development Projects (23 Jun 2010)

Fergus O'Dowd: The key problem is that terminal 2 cost over €600 million to build. The Minister commenced an operation in his Department to have competitive tendering for the right to run the terminal. In that context, Dublin Airport Authority did not have to go through the initial phase. It entered at the second stage and was in a position to compete against any player successful in the first phase....

Airport Development Projects (23 Jun 2010)

Fergus O'Dowd: The point is encapsulated in what the Minister stated. He acknowledged, as we all do, that there were international players and it does not make sense that they failed the test they were put through. I am not saying there was anything but a bone fide assessment of that. It does not make sense that people who run multiple international airports right around the world did not pass an...

Rail Network (23 Jun 2010)

Fergus O'Dowd: Can the Minister answer this question clearly? The last day we had Question Time in the Dáil with the Minister, he said he was not aware of the statement by Irish Rail that the DART interconnector timetable had been significantly altered. Who did the Minister meet from CIE that morning? Is it true he was briefed on this issue by CIE that morning?

Rail Network (23 Jun 2010)

Fergus O'Dowd: Apart from the board, did the Minister meet any officials or employees of Irish Rail that day and, if so, could he tell us who they were and the jobs they held within that organisation?

State Airports (23 Jun 2010)

Fergus O'Dowd: The Dublin Airport Authority lost €13 million last year. The debt it has now is closer to €1 billion, which is a great deal of money. The company paid its chief executive officer €638,500 in 2009. It appears many people are very well paid in this company. Sixteen directors were paid €187,000 in fees. The chairman will get almost €20,000 per annum. The point is that these...
