I wish to make a short interjection there. Ms Quin will be aware of British Airway's influence on the Scottish market. Scotland has a bigger population but has a lot less frequency in terms of transatlantic flights. It occupies a similar geographic location to Ireland and would have a similar diaspora. Yet, British Airways has effectively hubbed everything through Heathrow. There is real potential for that to happen here.
