David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

I raise with the Taoiseach again investment for Waterford Airport. It is something I have raised with him dozens of times. The airport's management has always made well-researched, very detailed propositions to Government on the need for the runway extension. Is the Taoiseach aware of a new consortium or investor that is prepared to put €30 million, it seems, on the table? Has he been briefed on that? In the past there was an ask for Government funding, which it seems will not be needed if this proposal is genuine. It has to be approved by the local authority but I understand it also has to be approved by Government and by the line Minister. Is it something the Taoiseach has been briefed on? Is he aware of this? Is the Government supportive and will it sign off on this if it comes across its desk?
