To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the commitment in the programme for Government for an additional €10 million for regional airports will be made outside of the capital plan mid-term review or if it will be dependent on approval during the review process; and the method by which the €10 million estimate for additional requirements for regional airports was estimated.

The commitment in respect of the extra €10 million for the regional airports is currently part of the mid-term review of the Capital Plan, as are other commitments of a capital nature in the Programme for Government, which was commenced recently by my colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. My Department is examining all areas of capital expenditure and will make a submission to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform shortly.
