Airport talks in danger over break-up report

TALKS about the break-up of Aer Rianta are in danger of being scuttled over the Government’s refusal to hand over a controversial report to unions.

The report, compiled by PriceWaterhouse Coopers (PWC) and already widely leaked, concludes that Shannon Airport would not be viable as an independent company while Cork would suffer substantial losses.

However, despite promising to do so, the Government is now refusing to make the report available to unions, saying it contains commercially sensitive material.
