PQ 20
109 Dr. Cowley asked the Minister for Transport if an investment of €29 million, which Ireland West Airport Knock requires for the period of 2005 to 2007 to meet essential infrastructural needs which would allow it to compete realistically with other international airports, will be made; if in view of the vast potential of this airport with the third longest runway in this country, he will make this investment awarding CAT.2 navigational status to this airport to enable landing in all weathers and faster turnaround time for aircraft due to increased apron space; if he will make this €15 million realistic financial investment in Ireland West Airport Knock in light of the pivotal role it would play in balanced regional development and in further light of the €3 billion underspend in the Border, midlands and west region and gross over-congestion at Dublin Airport; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
