I propose to take Questions Nos. 1039 and 1040 together.
In October last, I appointed consultants to carry out a study of options for the future ownership and operation of Cork and Shannon airports. The consultants were asked to provide wide ranging advice on all possible options. I received their report in December and I am currently considering their analyses and recommendations. I intend to bring proposals with regard to the future of both airports to Government as soon as possible.
