My question was on price differences. How often have we seen Aer Lingus flights to Dublin Airport being much cheaper than flights to Shannon Airport? That will happen over time. What about the scenario in which IAG would have control of both Aer Lingus and British Airways?

If somebody wanted to reduce the number of passengers coming into Shannon he or she could continue to offer cheap flights through Dublin or Heathrow while keeping the Shannon prices high. Does Mr. Kavanagh know what I am trying to say? He must, or he would not be CEO of Aer Lingus.
