asked the Minister for Transport and Power if he will state in regard to Shannon Airport the total annual expenditure, including capital expenditure and expenditure on meteorological and other ancillary services incurred since its inception; and if he will state the total revenue received from landing fees and other ancillary services at Shannon Airport since its inception.

With the permission of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a tabular statement setting out the information sought by the Deputy.

Following is the statement:—

TOTAL annual expenditure at Shannon Airport (including Foynes), including capital expenditure and expenditure on metcorological and other ancillary services related to the Airport and the total revenue received from landing fees and other ancillary services.
