Aer Rianta is flying — why break it up?

I FAIL to understand Transport Minister Seamus Brennan’s reasons for the break-up of Aer Rianta.

It is a very successful semi-State company. Year in and year out it pays over large dividends to State coffers and, most importantly, is not a strain on tax payers. In recent days it has been reported that passenger throughput in all the airports has increased, with Dublin alone handling 16 million.

Dublin airport is proud to support, financially and in any other way, Cork and Shannon.
