I thank Ms Hynes for such a comprehensive overview of what is happening at Shannon Airport. Before I call on members, there is one area she did not seem to cover, that is, the number of people employed at Shannon Airport. Will there be redundancies and job losses in the context of the new structure being put in place? How does Ms Hynes propose to deal with this issue? Obviously, Shannon Airport is now only operating at half the capacity at which it operated some years ago. Are changes in work practices required? Will Ms Hynes outline to the committee the proposals made in this regard?
