State Airports Bill 2004
Public bill · Government · Presented
Restructures State-owned airports by renaming Aer Rianta as Dublin Airport Authority and creating separate authorities for Cork and Shannon, each responsible for its airport’s assets, management, operations and development. It sets out arrangements for transferring staff and property, requires business plans and government approval before Cork and Shannon become independent, and keeps the State as owner. It also limits aviation-price regulation to Dublin Airport, updates airport safety, security and by-law powers, and changes rules on customs-free airport businesses, disruptive behaviour and penalties.
