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

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach. I find myself in the unusual position that I want to agree fully with my colleague. There should be representation from Munster, Galway or Connacht on any airport authority. We need to have a national view, and all laughing and joking aside, I totally agree with Senator Buttimer on this point. He has been advocating for this for some time now and I ask that the Minister of State take this point on board and have discussions with the DAA on this matter to ensure that we have a good distribution of board members on that authority. I will not delay any longer on that point and I thank the House.
