I thank our guests for their presentations. I have two specific questions. The first relates to the future of the Aer Lingus brand in the event of a possible acquisition. What is in place to prevent the brand being abandoned following an acquisition? My second question relates to existing business relationships. The Kerry-Dublin route involves a relationship between Stobart Air and Aer Lingus Regional. What would be the implications for relationships of this nature if an acquisition occurred? United Airlines' service from Chicago to Dublin is operated by Aer Lingus. Similar relationships also exist in respect of other routes. What would be the implications of any possible acquisition for such relationships? Would they be jeopardised?
