Waterford Airport to find out if it has secured €8m needed for survival 

Waterford Airport has struggled financially in recent years; it no longer receives annual emergency payments from the Department of Transport.

A make-or-break meeting at Waterford Airport this week will reveal whether it has achieved up to €8m in private investment to secure its future.

The airport's board of directors is meeting on Wednesday and will hear from a key shareholder on whether negotiations to secure a backer have been successful, amid warnings that the airport could go into receivership if the funding cannot be obtained.
