Mr. Ronan Gallagher:

An important point to make is that notwithstanding that we do it anyway in the national institutions but the international community obliges us to do what everyone else is doing in this space. We are part of a global aviation industry and there is really no opportunity to slack off. Even in respect of the pre-clearance facilities we have in Dublin and Shannon airports the US government as well has a whole other suite of requirements. The fact that we have pre-clearance is testament to how we are viewed in the United States in terms of our security apparatus. There will always be a need to be constantly vigilant of any risk. That is why we would never say to the committee that we are absolutely satisfied the system is 100% foolproof. There are always areas of change and part of the challenge to make sure that we are in touch with international developments, including security developments, and that they are reflected on and actions are taken as quickly as possible. That is the system we have in place. As far as we are concerned the system works and is subject to international audit. Clearly, it is a moving target.
