- State Airports (23 Jun 2010)
Fergus O'Dowd: The Dublin Airport Authority lost â¬13 million last year. The debt it has now is closer to â¬1 billion, which is a great deal of money. The company paid its chief executive officer â¬638,500 in 2009. It appears many people are very well paid in this company. Sixteen directors were paid â¬187,000 in fees. The chairman will get almost â¬20,000 per annum. The point is that these...

- (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.

Is the Minister aware of...

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.
