1633. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide an update on the provision of an additional runway at Dublin Airport; the amount that has been allocated by his Department for the runways to date over the past number of years; if he will provide a breakdown on the way this money was spent; if he has been provided with a timeline for the next phases of development; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The matter raised by the Deputy in relation to the provision of an additional runway at Dublin Airport falls within the operational responsibilities of the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) and I have referred the question to the company for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten working days. 

It should be noted that DAA operates under a clear commercial mandate and its operations are entirely funded from its own resources and it receives no Government funding.
