The question is straightforward. Does Mr. Geoghegan see Dublin Airport being slot-controlled in a way broadly similar to London Heathrow? I do not know how many movements there are in and out of Dublin every day. The biggest factor with regard to slot control - Mr. Geoghegan mentioned it earlier with regard to passengers - is safety. The space between aircraft when taking off and landing is the fundamental one with regard to slot control. I am delighted Mr. Geoghegan is chairperson because he will add an extra layer of significance to the daa. With 30 million passengers, does Mr. Geoghegan see Dublin Airport becoming slot-controlled in the next two years? It is a "Yes" or "No" answer. I do not have all the information on it.
