As I have said before, the funding of the new Cork Airport terminal will have to take account not only of what is commercially and financially feasible for Cork Airport, but also what is commercially and financially feasible for Dublin Airport. The future plans for both Shannon and Cork as independent airports must have regard to the capacity of each airport to contribute to its own capital investment programme. The approach to and timing of restructuring, having regard to the need to ensure the financial sustainability of all three State airports, is being examined with a view to resolving the issue of how best to achieve Cork airport's autonomy.
