Paudie Coffey (Fine Gael)

I wish to make a clarification with regard to the allegation of negativity. I took great care to have a very positive contribution on Waterford and I think the Minister of State has acknowledged that. Anybody who knows me and the representations I make on behalf of Waterford knows I always speak positively in any forum or debate. I acknowledge the detailed response of the Minister of State and ask that he ensures Waterford and its regional airport are kept as a high priority in the Department.
