Mr. Maurice Quinn:
The policy parameters were to keep the aircraft viable for as long as possible within the €400,000 annual service limit. Anytime there was an exception, we signed off on it on an annual basis. We were driven by the policy imperative that the service be kept going. There was no formal process of evaluation at that stage.
