26 Mr. Blaney asked the Minister for Tourism and Transport when the Government proposes to give the go-ahead to provide the necessary finance to construct the Donegal Regional Airport at Big Isle, Letterkenny, County Donegal.

My Department are still considering the question of the development of Letterkenny Airport. I have decided to invite the airport committee to meet with me in Letterkenny to discuss their proposal. I hope to finalise the date of such a meeting shortly in consultation with the committee.
