Mr. Sean Brogan:

The only thing I would add is our experience with regard to access to a larger platform. Four years ago we became involved in Aer Lingus through Aer Lingus Regional. It has increased our passenger numbers by 50%. Aer Lingus is a global brand. It has given us access to a global market. The IAG proposal would further enhance our access to consumers. A big part of our business is in transatlantic travel from the UK. There is opportunity in airports we service from Aberdeen to Edinburgh to Glasgow and right down through the UK. We are taking passengers who select Aer Lingus, as opposed to the IAG platform, which would offer much greater exposure. I put that down to the fact that since we formed the alliance with Aer Lingus, we have created 100 jobs. That is on a much smaller scale. Since we found ourselves on the brink of bankruptcy, we have not made any redundancies. That is directly attributable to the fact that we have become part of a larger group.
