Will the Taoiseach ask the Minister for Transport to do an independent report on the Dublin Port tunnel...

State Airports. (6 Mar 2008)

Tommy Broughan: I certainly will. A number of reports appeared in the media to the effect that the Minister may be reconsidering the idea of separating Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports. Is it the case that he may decide not to proceed with the provisions of the 2004 Act? Many commentators have observed that there is no commercial logic to the separation.
