Question 208: To ask the Minister for Transport his plans for the future of the Great Southern Hotels group; if there is a basis for recent media reports which suggest that its ownership will be transferred to Fáilte Ireland; if he is committed to retaining the group in public ownership; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In accordance with the State Airports Act 2004, the three airport authorities, including the Dublin Airport Authority, are preparing comprehensive business plans for their airports. As I have previously indicated, the DAA will, as part of its business plan, address the position of its principal subsidiaries, including the future of the Great Southern Hotels group. I will consider the DAA's proposals in consultation with the Minister for Finance and it would not be appropriate to comment on media speculation about the future of the group.
