Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Aviation Regulation (Amendment) Bill 2018: Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (15 May 2019)

Robert Troy: I thank the officials for appearing before us today. Senator Ó Céidigh hit on a key point of the current charges being set down. This has been done in amending the charges currently being charged by the DAA at Dublin Airport. It is the only airport that will be affected by this.
