I propose to take Questions Nos. 445 and 446 together.

Under the Dublin Airport Authority's (DAA) Capital Investment Programme, Terminal Two and associated pier facilities (Pier E) will be provided close to the existing terminal. Fingal County Council granted planning permission for the project in October 2006 and this is now under appeal to An Bord Pleanála. I am assured that the DAA is working to the Government deadline to have the terminal operational by 2009. I am informed that work is progressing on Pier D and the DAA expect it to be completed before the end of 2007.
