State Airports Bill 2004: Second Stage.
5:00 pm
Mary White (Fianna Fail)
When I did I made the most of it. I had very little space at the outset but I went there at 6 a.m. to do business and get more space. The airports are windows from which Irish companies can sell their products to tourists from abroad.
Aer Rianta is a mega-successful company. Senator Ross's derogatory comments about Aer Rianta were utterly wrong. It is a superb State company. The public sector has shown by good example that it can be as entrepreneurial as the private sector.
