I appreciate that and I thank Mr. Ó Ciaruáin. I know he is 100% on that and that will happen. That is really important given that €600 million is at stake. I am not saying the contract should automatically go to the Air Corps or anything like that, but the Air Corps has six AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters already in operation. The choice and options for the Department are important in terms of making the best possible decision and I know the Department will do that.
