Feargal Quinn (Independent)

When we debated the topic yesterday, the Minister was very clear that the whole purpose of the policy was to delegate responsibility to the individual airports. The Minister and I had a difference of opinion on how this would be structured. It appears the amendment would go against everything that is in mind, namely, to delegate responsibility and place on the shoulders of Cork and Shannon the responsibility for success. If they were to do so subject to the approval of the Dublin Airport authority, it would appear to go against what we are trying to achieve here. I do not understand the reason for the amendment. I understand those who tabled the amendments wish to see this delegation take place. I support the Minister in not accepting the amendment.
