Lobbyists for Donegal airport have raised concerns over the new PSO route to Derry and funding distribution to other regional airports such as Waterford.
The cabinet is considering taxpayer support for a new Public Service Obligation flight between Dublin and City of Derry Airport. The proposal occurred despite an existing PSO service to Donegal Airport at Carrickfin. Discussions focused on potential imbalance in support for North West air access points.
The development sparked debate on prioritisation of regional aviation connections.
