Níl muid críochnaithe fós leis an aistriúchán, ach nuair a bheidh muid in ann an t-aistriúchán a chríochnú, déanfaidh muid é sin.

Senator Dooley has spoken to me many times about representation on the Dublin board from Shannon and Cork. He has pressed the case very hard with me and I understand why he feels so strongly about it. I can try to meet his requirement as best I can by reminding everyone of section 8 which requires the three authorities to work out arrangements between them so that whatever functions can be undertaken by Shannon and Cork in the interim can be agreed and carried out by the two airport authorities. That will ensure almost daily contact at very senior level between the three authorities which should meet the requirement of keeping very close touch during the transition period.
