‘Firm decision’ promised on airport’s future

The economic crisis presents Ireland with a great opportunity to implement reform to achieve recovery, and to ensure the calamity inflicted on the Irish people is never repeated, Enda Kenny said last night.

Delivering the keynote address at the Cork Chamber annual dinner, the Taoiseach said the seeds of a brighter future were here.

“The current crisis presents us with a great opportunity to change things in this country for the better. To make the reforms this country needs to achieve economic recovery and, most of all, to make Ireland the best small country in the world in which to do business,” he said.
