Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I do not honestly believe there is political resistance to this, certainly not from the Tánaiste. The Minister of State, Deputy Butler, Deputy Ó Cathasaigh and Senator Cummins have all been on to me about this important matter. The business case has been received and it is being examined. I believe Department officials may have met with the airport last week because they had some further questions about it. The commitment made by the previous Government, of which I was the leader, was that we would match the investment 50-50. It is certainly my personal intention and desire that this commitment should be honoured.
