It is not normal practice for Ministers to meet with the Boards of all companies that do business with my Department.  However, my Departmental officials have had intensive engagement with IWA Knock, particularly in relation to the EU Guidelines on State-aid for airports and airlines and in preparation for the implementation of the new Regional Airports Programme 2015-2019.  It is my intention to visit IWA Knock  over the coming months.

I have met with representatives of all the Irish State airports since coming to Office. However, I have not formally met with their full Boards.  It is, however, my intention to do so over the coming months.
