Kerry Airport has over a million reasons to celebrate
T
THE festive season has had an early take-off at Kerry Airport as it received a windfall of over €1 million towards operating costs.
The Minister of State for Tourism and Sport Brendan Griffin welcomed the news from his Departmental colleague Minister Ross. “This grant is in addition to the €583,000 already allocated to Kerry, bringing the total grant for the year to close to €1.6m.”
Kerry Airport remains a key part of the infrastructure of Kerry for connectivity of the county’s tourism product as well as for business, added Minister Griffin.
The Regional Airports Programme supports necessary safety and security investments and activities by these airports to enable them to continue to contribute to enhanced regional connectivity for businesses and tourism.
The Review of the Capital Plan that was announced in September by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform identified the need for continued support for this Programme. The review of the Capital Plan yielded over €17 million in additional capital funding for the Regional Airports Programme over the period 2019 to 2021, considerably in excess of the €10 million in extra funding that was originally mooted in the Programme for Government.
