The Deputy can say it is 22%. These figures were provided to me by Fingal County Council. If he doubts them, that is up to him.

Regarding Shannon and Cork airports, under this directive they do not have to be regulated by this noise operator because the requirement is 50,000 movements and Dublin is the only airport in Ireland which comes under that category.

I accept the Deputy's reservations about the timetable. This timetable was accepted and approved by the Cabinet last week. The Deputy is right that it is tight but we are determined to keep to it. I hope we will have the support of the Opposition for getting the Bill through quickly. It is extremely urgent and we expect the Opposition will recognise its importance and urgency.
