Our Minister of Environment has declined to explain comments he made in a statement last week regarding the impending closure of Boal Car Park, an off-site car park offering a service to customers using George Best Belfast City Airport for travel. He claimed that he "does not consider that the public in anyway has been disadvantaged." Despite Boal Car Park offering a far cheaper service to the public, causing unemployment and securing George Best Belfast City Airport a car parking monopoly.

The decision does not make sense

We have the added expense of travelling from Tyrone to the airport so the saving on parking was welcome. Now we will consider flying from Dublin ( which has cheaper fares and we get complimentary parking at bewleys)

Latest minister in a long line bows the knee to the latest Belfast City Airport wish list. Please explain yourself sir!

He made a statement and he is paid to justify his thoughts, so let him answer the questions put to him. If he answers them satisfactorily then fair enough but show some balls Sir.

Free enterprise stopped because a forward thinking company comes up against our so called ruling elite.

Without competition we are being conned as consumers - we want the choice, if we choose not to use Boal then they will not survive any way! But let the consumer decide where they want to park and how much they are willing to pay.

Taking the competition away will obviously disadvantage the public!

This is absolutely ridiculous. Customers should have a choice as at all other UK airports.

Belfast City Airport need competition. Their prices are extortionate. Boal have been providing a very good, more reasonably priced alternative.

Please reconsider shutting down this car park which is an alternative parking solution to those using George Best City Airport. Thank you.

Mr durken, stop harassing an honest business. The goal car park does a brilliant and cheap job just to please your airport hierarchy friends who run the expensive car parking facility at the George best airport

This car park is important and I wish it to be kept as an alternative to the airport car park.

This car park provides an excellent service and is value for money. In my view there is no good reason to close it. The airport service is much more expensive, therefore the public will be disadvantaged by the closure of the Boal car park.
