ISME calls for airport action

SMALL business group ISME has said the Government must ensure that any new terminal at Dublin Airport is run by an independent operator.

ISME said the decision must be made soon as the facilities at Dublin Airport are similar to those of a "Third World airport servicing a first world economy."

The group's chairman Robert Berney said air travel is hugely important to an island economy and it is essential we have the proper facilities for low-cost travel.
