Mr. Maurice Quinn:

In the first instance, what we do next would be a decision for the Government or the Minister, so I could not speculate on it. What I could observe, having operated the service on behalf of the State, is the flexibility that is available in having that flexibility for the State, whether it is for a Minister's use or an occasion to use it as an air ambulance. It affords the capacity to get off the island and back under one's own steam. This flexibility would factor into any future decision.
