Cork airport chairman urged to revisit debt issue

THE new chairman of the Cork Airport Authority (CAA) has been urged to revisit its controversial €113 million debt issue.

Transport Minister Noel Dempsey confirmed yesterday that former Bórd Gáis boss Gerry Walsh will replace Joe Gantly who resigned from the authority earlier this year.

Fine Gael said addressing the airport’s potentially crippling debt should be his top priority.
