Government reneged on airport debt, says Kenny

FINE GAEL leader Enda Kenny has criticised the Government for failing to honour a commitment that the new Cork Airport Authority wouldn’t face a start-up debt of over €130 million.

Mr Kenny toured the airport for a number of hours yesterday and subsequently launched his attack on the Government at a special party fundraising lunch held in the Clarion Hotel.

“If you say something you should stand by it and honour your word,” Mr Kenny said.
