In respect of all those airports, I note from their websites that while British Airways serves Heathrow, all the other routes are developed by other carriers. Mr. Walsh is suggesting that what he did in the United Kingdom regions, that is, linking them all to Heathrow, will not be repeated in Dublin and we will not be left with the small presence on the north Atlantic that Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast have. In its own jurisdiction, British Airways is not doing it for the regions.
