Timmy Dooley (Fianna Fail)

I object to the amendment because, based on the discussion we had earlier, I would like to see Aer Rianta International retained in the Shannon region and not transferred to Dublin, as the amendment would appear to suggest. I understand the Senator's aim is to protect public ownership of the subsidiaries and the authorities. However, that is clearly set out in the legislation. I welcome the fact that the airports will remain in State ownership. I do not want to see Aer Rianta International transferred to Dublin, if that is what the reserves issue would allow for. I want to see it remain in Shannon.
