Mr. Willie Walsh:

I have said this publicly. The idea that anybody would operate a monopoly while Michael O'Leary and Ryanair are on one's doorstep is nonsense. One will never see that situation. Dublin Airport is a highly contested and competed airport, as are all the airports we operate into. I cannot envisage that changing. Competition will continue to be strong.

Reference was made to Knock. I said I think the Knock-Gatwick service can benefit from potential feed into the British Airways short haul network at Gatwick in particular. That does not exist today. We do work with Aer Lingus on the Heathrow service but I see no reason why we would not also work with Aer Lingus on the Knock-Gatwick service.
