I thank witnesses and members for attending. This discussion has been useful. I have no doubt we will be returning to this issue again. As stated by the witnesses, it is important this does not become a Shannon versus Knock issue. I urge members to bear this in mind. We will endeavour to have the Minister appear before the committee at some stage in the future to discuss this issue.

I wish the witnesses well. I have no doubt they will be successful in terms of their negotiations on this issue. I admire what they are doing. Well done. I thank them for coming before us. This has been a useful exercise.

As there is no other business we will adjourn until 9.30 a.m. on Wednesday, 12 December 2012 when we will meet with representatives from RTE for another useful and interesting discussion.
