The Programme for Government commitment is to provide an additional €10 million over the lifetime of the Capital Plan to support the four regional airports which of course includes Waterford Airport, along with the airports in Donegal, Ireland West Airport Knock and Kerry. This commitment, together with other Programme for Government commitments of a capital nature, is currently part of the mid-term review of the Capital Plan which was commenced in January and my Department will make a submission to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform shortly.
