EI-A330, you can dilute the €100m in semi-state nonsense or massage the figures any other way you want, but it doesn't change the reality that if Shannon hadn't run up these enormous debts, the Government would be €100m better off right now than it is, and we can ill-afford that kind of wastage at the moment.
