Oireachtas committee seeks 'detailed information' on Kerry Airport market loss  

Kerry Airport is a private company but has received €1.2m in public funds for the Department of Transport this year.

The loss was made on a total of €1.5m the regional airport had put on a market bond.

The Oireachtas Transport Committee is to seek "detailed information" from the Department of Transport about a €306,000 investment loss made by Kerry Airport when markets plummeted at the onset of the Covid-19 crisis this year.

The loss was made on a total of €1.5m the regional airport had put on a market bond and was triggered when markets soured disastrously in March, the Irish Examiner has reported.
