I am informed that in agreement with the Cork Airport Authority, CAA, the Dublin Airport Authority, DAA, has recently appointed BDO Simpson Xavier to assist the CAA in developing its business plan and appropriate financing proposals for the Cork Airport development investment in line with the requirements of the State Airports Act 2004, the provisions of the Companies Acts and the commercial and financial viability requirements of the DAA and CAA.

I await the outcome of this work because of its importance to facilitating the development of a dynamic, independent and financially sustainable Cork Airport. The Government objective of airport restructuring must be achieved in a manner which underpins the financial sustainability of all three State airports. I will be happy to meet with Deputies on completion of the business planning process.
