Mr. Maurice Quinn:
To return to the point being made, I return to the circumstances in which we found ourselves, which was an emergency. We had an aircraft on the ground in the situation it was. We had the potential for significant costs. We had costs realised we had to negotiate downwards. All these circumstances informed the decision and the decision flowed from this.
