asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state whether he has yet received the report on the most suitable site for the Cork airport; and, if not, when he hopes to obtain it.

I have received the report referred to in the question.

As I stated during the debates on the Estimates for my Department, the report will be considered by the Government at an early date.

Could the Minister give any indication as to when the Government is likely to come to a decision on the matter?

I am afraid not. The report is in the usual way circulating to other Departments for their opinions.
