174 Mr. Harte asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he has received a request from Donegal County Council to receive a deputation from the council consisting of the chairman and vice-chairman of the Letterkenny airport committee and Donegal members of the Oireachtas to discuss making available a copy of the feasibility study prepared in 1988/89 by the consultants Deloitte, Haskins and Sells on the proposed development of the airport; when he proposes to reply to the council's letter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2644/94]

The feasibility study in question was commissioned on a confidential basis by the then Minister for Tourism and Transport in 1988. It would therefore not be appropriate to make it available to other parties.
