A decision on the possible separation of Shannon Airport from the DAA isn’t now likely to be made until later in the year.
It had been expected that the Transport Minister would present the findings of a report into the future of the Mid West facility to Cabinet early in the New Year.
However speaking in the Dáil Leo Varadkar said that he will now bring a memo for information before Government shortly with a further memo to be presented to Cabinet later in the year.
Minister Varadkar stated that he needs to spend a little more time in consultations and discussions and that he hadn’t had a proper chance yet to speak properly to some of the stakeholders involved.
He added that given any decision to proceed with separation could require legislation, getting it all done this year is ambitious but possible
