State Airports Bill 2004: Committee Stage.

I will resist the temptation to score a point on that and want to make the point to illustrate a dilemma. Who makes the decisions, or are the decisions, in effect, already made? Senator Browne asked under what company ARI would come. There are other decisions regarding SFADCo properties in Shannon.

I do not intend to take an aggressive approach because I appreciate the Bill will be passed. I am seeking to give the Minister an opportunity to put out information and to give us a sense of his strategic concept of how the policy will progress. I appreciate we will not get the Bill amended and there is no point in codding ourselves that anything other than that is the case.
