Séamus Brennan (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

The Leader of the House was entitled to disagree with me and she did. I am entitled to disagree with that direction because it leads to private ownership. Private owners sitting at a table in Dublin would build houses on Shannon Airport. No group of private investors in Dublin Airport would stand over Shannon Airport for the future. They would flog it off, as they might do also with Cork Airport. That is why I do not support that policy of my predecessor. She is fully entitled to take me to task about my policy. I amfully entitled to respond and say I do not like her direction.
