This was after news on Friday morning that ministers within the government had warned Minister for Transport Shane Ross that it is unwise to invest 5 million into the runway.

Minister of State for Training and Skills John Halligan has said the €5m investment from the Government in Waterford Airport was “a small amount”.

This follows reports that Minister for Transport Shane Ross went against the advice of officials in granting the investment, Mr Halligan said that down the years, such advice from civil servants has not been correct.

The Waterford TD said the southeast should have the same infrastructural opportunities as everywhere else in Ireland and asked why the region should be excluded when every other region across Ireland has an airport.
