DAA chief to attend Cork Airport meeting

The chairman of the DAA is to hold a cross-party meeting with public representatives from Cork to discuss the future of the county’s airport.

Fine Gael TD for Cork North West Áine Collins yesterday said she hopes that the meeting with Pádraig Ó Ríordáin will take place by the end of this month.

“Pádraig is from Cork and understands the Cork region. He also heads up the Cork Airport Development Council and I believe we as a group need to express our joint concerns to him and need to look at actions that can proactively turn around the situation in Cork Airport urgently,” Ms Collins said.
