I welcome Mr. Walsh and Mr. Griffin. Mr. Walsh said that Ireland is a great market. I would say, "Please come in, but do not take over an existing producer." If it is a great market, IAG can come to any airport in Ireland that it wishes to. We will be delighted to see them. My concern is that an existing producer will be removed.

Deputy O'Donovan spoke about the performance of British Airways in the UK regions. Does it not contrast with what IAG is promising in Dublin? I do not see this in Belfast, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester or Birmingham.
