I am trying to find out the direct benefit to the Irish economy from Virgin Atlantic Airlines, which is a worldwide carrier. What Mr. Thompson is arguing for, as I understand it, is for existing interline agreements to remain as they are. In the commercial world, where everything is changing, I question whether that is realistic. How realistic is the request that all existing interline agreements remain as they are and not be affected by any takeover of Aer Lingus by anyone else?
