I thank Mr. Geoghegan for his presentation. I wish him well with his nomination and new appointment.

Mr. Geoghegan raised serious issues in his presentation. It seems incredible that one could have an extra runway but fewer flights and I am at a loss to comprehend such a situation coming to pass. He might speak some more about the seriousness of the issue.

I note that Mr. Geoghegan has said that he will step down as director of the Irish Aviation Authority once he takes up his role with DAA. Will his past role representing certain airlines and knowledge of the aviation industry help or hinder his new role?
