When we met the management of the Shannon Airport Authority, it was at pains to point out that the overall percentage of US military personnel aircraft passing through Shannon Airport was low. This is confirmed by the Minister's last statement that the percentage of such traffic is approximately 4% of the airport's overall business.

I understand the Minister has another commitment. I thank him and his officials for attending the meeting and remaining with us beyond time.
