I propose to take Questions Nos. 173 to 175, inclusive, together.

As the Deputy will be aware, daa and the Shannon Airport Group have the statutory responsibility to operate and manage Dublin, Cork and Shannon Airports including matters related to the airport police.

As the issues raised are operational matters , I have forwarded your questions to the companies for direct reply. If the Deputy does not receive a reply within ten working days, please advise my Private Office.
