That is fine. The order provides that no foreign military aircraft shall fly over or land in the State without the express invitation or permission of the Minister. Is that something that is done on a roll-over basis? Does any country state in advance it will have seven flights next year, there will be one in January, March, April and May, etc., and do they receive a blanket agreement, or is it done case by case basis? Mr. Burgess might flesh out how that works. I very much appreciate that he has been kind enough not to fill out the whole presentation and to give us the opportunity to question.
