Regional Airports
Seanad Éireann — 2020-11-06
============================================================

Eugene Murphy (FF), Agricultural Panel

I welcome what the Minister of State has said but, as Senator Chambers rightly said, we need special supports. Not alone will the people of Mayo not stand for this, the people of Roscommon are adamant that this airport must survive and be supported by the Government, as are the people of Leitrim, Sligo and Galway. It should be remembered that Galway lost its airport. It is vital that we support totally Ireland West Airport Knock.
