I understand the Deputy's Question relates to Boeing C-17 Globemasters. I am advised that this aircraft has landed and been parked in the Aerodrome, as the aircraft operators have opted to park overnight on the runway at Casement Aerodrome.

I am satisfied that the existing infrastructure provision at Baldonnel is sufficient to enable the Air Corps carry out its current training and operational requirements. The Deputy may wish to note that my Department is actively engaged with the military authorities in respect of the general modernisation of hangars in Baldonnel and such projects have been identified in the Infrastructure Plan.
