asked the Minister for Tourism and Transport if he will outline in respect of the last five years, the total income made from duty-free sales in Irish outlets, outlet by outlet; the profit available to Aer Rianta from the sale of duty-free goods; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose to circulate it in the Official Report.

Statement of Value of Sales and Excess of Income Over Expenditure recorded at each of the Duty Free outlets operated by Aer Rianta at Dublin, Shannon and Cork Airports for each of the years 1982 to 1986 inclusive.

Note

Income from sale of non-dutiable goods at the Aer Rianta "duty free" outlets is included in the above figures.
