Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

His fingerprints are all over this amendment. It would be foolish to tie ourselves down; we should leave it to the boards to decide. We should not say Aer Rianta International or the Great Southern Hotels Group should automatically go to the Dublin Airport authority. It makes sense for people to have options. Aer Rianta International should remain in Shannon as it is based there and would be a major asset to the authority. If it is taken away from Shannon, it could lead to a collapse. I have difficulty with this and do not support the amendment.
