Any cost cutting plans are operational matters for the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) and I have no statutory function in this regard. I have been informed however by the DAA that after months of discussions with union representatives and following the involvement of the Labour Relations Commission, agreement has now been reached on a cost recovery programme that will assist the DAA in aligning its cost base with current business requirements. While I have been briefed on the efforts of DAA to address its cost base, I have had no direct personal contact with the DAA on the negotiation of the agreement.
