Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-10-05
============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (FG), Labour Panel

I wish to comment on this section, in the context of the articles of association and the appointment by the Minister. It is important that in the overarching debate we have and will have on aviation policy, that there is a reflection on the composition of the board of the Dublin Airport Authority and that there would be a recognition and an acknowledgement that there are airports beyond Dublin. I make this point in the context of what we are trying to achieve in this Bill. There is an absolute need for somebody from the regions to be on the Dublin Airport Authority. I will give an example. There is nobody on the Dublin Airport Authority from Cork.
