Mr. Paddy McGuinness:

It was quite strong when we had a little budget, but at the moment the budget just keeps the office heated and the light on. We do not have capacity to do much with other authorities. When we had a small budget we got other county councils to come in and put together a package to promote Knock airport, resulting in a lot of extra traffic through the airport. That is just one example, and there is scope for more co-operation, particularly with local authorities, but without a budget there is not much one can do other than talk.
