I welcome Mr. Walsh and Mr. Griffin. We are trying today to elicit the plans Mr. Walsh has for Aer Lingus if IAG were to acquire it, and I want to focus on that aspect. There is the growth of which Mr. Walsh spoke and the possibility for expansion in transatlantic traffic. I want to ask Mr. Walsh whether he would consider now, even if he has not previously, looking at taking transatlantic flights out of Ireland West Airport Knock. There is a massive region in the west and north west. There was an airline operating transatlantic flights out of there previously and I understand that-----
