Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

The difficulty which the Opposition has is that it is working in the dark. There have been reports of leaks and references to the PricewaterhouseCoopers report, yet we have not seen it in full. The Minister has not released to us any available documentation. The question I would pose — I am sure it is a question which would keep Senator Dooley awake at night — concerns what happens if Dublin Airport authority decides Aer Rianta International, currently based in Shannon, should be based in Dublin. How will Senator Dooley feel if the Dublin Airport authority business plan recommends that that facility be located in Dublin? I am sure he would like an input into the plan then. They are the type of issues likely to arise.

As far as I am aware, no terms of reference have been drawn up for the boards. While each board will draw up its own business plan there is a danger they will overlap and try to take assets from each other. What will happen in that scenario?
