I welcome Norwegian Airlines coming in. The issue for me is very simple. The Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government is driving down to Cork today to welcome this. I welcome the fact that there will be three flights into one destination and not into Boston or New York, as was said. I believe they are going to Providence. This was sold as a game changer and it is a positive move for Cork. However, it was sold as being about Cork. I want to know if the DAA was always looking at Cork or whether there was underlying agenda in order to get it into Dublin. By coincidence, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport has just announced his review regarding a third terminal at Dublin. This needs to be worked out.
