Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Timmy Dooley: During Second Stage, I discussed with the Minister the position on cross-subsidisation between the two companies that will sit under the overarching company.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

Timmy Dooley: That creates some concern. Notwithstanding the fact that the airport was largely given the independent status in a debt-free way, the best advice from Booz was that if it was to be made independent, it would need external support to deal with potential shocks. I recognise the good work the management, staff and chairperson, Ms Hynes, have done in increasing the through-put of passengers. I...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (3 Jul 2014)

The business plan I recall indicated a necessity to reach approximately 1.9 million passengers by the end of 2014. That would have taken numbers to...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Road Safety (26 Jun 2014)
