Resolution to airport debt ‘unlikely’

THE Government came under fire again yesterday over the €100 million Cork Airport debt.

Members of the South West Regional Authority’s (SWRA) airport consultative committee were told the issue was unlikely to be resolved before the General Election.

The continuing debt concerns exist despite reassurances from senior Fianna Fáil sources in recent weeks that the issue was receiving attention at the “highest level” and would be resolved before election day.
