Airport debt meeting 'very positive'

AN emergency meeting between Transport Minister Martin Cullen and the Cork Airport Authority (CAA) on the subject of the airport's €80 million debt was described last night as having been very positive.

The dispute as to who was going to pick up the tab for Cork Airport's new terminal, due to be opened in May is, nonetheless, a long way from being resolved.

After yesterday's meeting, a spokesman for the minister said no milestones had been passed and the matter was still up for discussion.
