Written Answers. - Air Services Agreement.

Ms F. Fitzgerald Ms F. Fitzgerald

176. Ms F. Fitzgerald asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications the benefits, if any, that have accrued to Dublin and Shannon since the change in the Shannon stop rule. [18670/95]

Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications (Mr. Lowry) Michael Lowry

Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications (Mr. Lowry): The benefits of the change in the Ireland/US Air Services Agreement in relation to the Shannon policy may be measured in a number of ways. In particular, the change in policy has been a contributory factor in the significant increase in the number of passengers travelling between Ireland and the US. In this regard Aer Rianta has advised me that the level of transatlantic terminal traffic at Shannon and Dublin airports since the change in the agreement in October, 1993 is as follows:

	1993	1994	Var
			%
Dublin	316,721	397,656	26
Shannon	391,802	432,149	10
Total	708,523	829,805	17

1189 1190 [1189][1190]	Jan-Nov 1993	Jan-Nov 1994	Var Over 1993	Jan-Nov 1995	Var Over 1994	Var Over 1993
			%		%	%
