Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

There is much indecision on the part of the Government parties about air transport and the Dublin Airport Authority. If Cork Airport, Shannon Airport and the regions are to grow, they must be given the freedom to do it. When the then Minister, Deputy Brennan, said that Cork and Shannon Airports were to be debt free, he must have had a reason for saying it and must have meant it. However, it appears this Minister has changed his mind and the position of the previous Minister on it.
