The Chairman of Cork Airport Authority, Joe Gantly, has called on Minister for Transport, Noel Dempsey TD to put a process in place to resolve the issues surrounding the separation of Cork Airport from the Dublin Airport Authority.

However, Mr. Gantly said that he was very encouraged about his meeting with Minister Dempsey which will take place in the coming days and is confident that this meeting will be a crucial step in resolving the debt issue which is critical to the preparation of the business plan on the separation of Cork Airport.
