Date: 06 July 2006

Dáil Question No: 420         To ask the Minister for Transport if the proposed new runway at Dublin Airport will form part of the next National Development Plan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. - Enda Kenny.

 

 Response
by the Minister for Transport
(Martin Cullen) 

The provision of a second runway at Dublin Airport is a key element of the capital development programme prepared by the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) in order to ensure the provision of capacity to meet expected demand in the coming year. It is envisaged that this programme will be funded by the DAA from its own resources.

The National Development Plan 2007-2013 is being prepared under the aegis of the Department of Finance and the Government.

It is envisaged that the plan will take account of investment planning of commercial state bodies including the DAA.
