-----bang for our buck on this. The point I made earlier is that we all pay attention to the export figures because if the country is exporting, down the line it should create jobs if businesses are going well. The aviation leasing sector makes up €6 billion of our export figures annually. I believe the question is one for the Department of Finance. The jobs in the aviation sector are low paid. It is money that is coming in. It is 3,000 commercial planes. Of the €6 billion of exports, in what way is the State benefiting from that? That is the question I would like answered. Also, how can we maximise that benefit? There is an issue for the Department of Finance.
