I have a question about airstrips. I have a conflict of interest because my wife comes from Inishmore. The annual subsidy for Aer Arann Oileáin is €1.8 million and there have been issues with this funding for the past few years. The service has been provided for 42 years. Mr. Hamill mentioned a figure of €300,000 or €400,000 for maintenance, for maintaining the three airstrips on Inis Oírr, Inish Meáin and Inishmore.
