Robert Troy: I welcome the Minister again and wish to ask him about the civil aviation element of the budget. He refers to a commitment in the programme for Government to supporting regional airports. My understanding is a number of regional airports applied and were approved for grant aid last year.

Robert Troy: I mentioned Waterford Airport specifically, but other regional airports were beneficiaries of grant assistance last year. My understanding - the Minister should correct me if I am wrong because I do not claim to know this area intimately - is that for a regional airport to be eligible to draw down a grant, it has to put up 20% to 25% of the funding. The Minister has mentioned the money...

Robert Troy: I wish to raise two issues. One of them does not fall with the remit of the Minister's Department but it is part of the funding for our road infrastructure. This refers to motor tax paid by motorists and the changes that were introduced in 2008 to incentivise people to use cars with lower emissions. This significantly reduced the level of motor tax that was collected over the past number...
