‘Outlook poor’ for late airport terminal, says Cullen

TRANSPORT Minister Martin Cullen assailed the management of Cork Airport yesterday, saying its inability to open the facility’s new terminal on time represented “a poor outlook for the future”.

During ill-tempered exchanges in the Dáil, Fine Gael TD Bernard Allen demanded to know when the terminal would begin operating.

The development, officially costed at €160 million, has run over-budget and over-time, and was originally scheduled to open on May 10.
