Mr. Colm Barrington:

I will start with the 200 new jobs. I was specifically referring to the prospect of Aer Lingus operating services to two new destinations, one on both the east and west coast of the United States. Those two new destinations would require one more aircraft each and that would mean approximately 100 new jobs per aircraft. Over the next five years, between now and 2020, we could see the more than 500 direct jobs that Mr. Walsh referred to last week. Aer Lingus could increase its current transatlantic fleet from 10 aircraft to close to 20 aircraft, and if those targets were achieved more than 500 jobs would be created in total. I believe Mr. Walsh was referring to what IAG might add to the two new services proposed by Aer Lingus. Would Mr. Kavanagh discuss the possibility of growth if the IAG bid to take over Aer Lingus is unsuccessful?
