It’s time to stand up and fight for airport

I REFER to your report (Irish Examiner, July 13) where “a senior source within Government” gave a reassurance that the level of the debt for Cork airport will not leave it in a vulnerable position.

Cork Chamber is stunned that there has been no reaction to this comment, leaked after the Dáil went into recess for the summer holidays.

What this really amounts to is that the Government and Dublin Airport Authority have already decided, without hearing from their consultants PWC, that Cork Airport Authority will start life with a debt despite the promises of Seamus Brennan in 2003 that our new airport would be independent and debt-free.
