‹ Ceisteanna—Questions Oral Answers - Dublin Airport Runway. Dublin runway cost estimate
Summary
The Minister said the £30 million figure was an approximate estimate and that either a 7,500-foot or 9,000-foot runway would cost of that order. Deputy Wilson remarked that this equated to £3,000 per foot.
Deputy Prendergast in his question refers to £30 million. Can the Minister say how that figure was reached? Was it estimated on the basis of a 7,500 ft. runway or a 9,000 ft. runway? Can the Minister give any further information to the House about that?
Comment on this
It is not a precise estimate. It is felt that a figure of that magnitude would be needed for a runway. I am not sure what the cost differential would be between a 7,500 ft. runway and a 9,000 ft. runway. Either way it will be of that order.
