In the region of 37 million to 38 million passengers use Dublin, Cork and Shannon Airports, with 33 million using Dublin Airport and 2.5 million to 3 million using Cork and Shannon Airports. A staff of 17 or fewer than 20 to look after passenger rights is a big challenge. I am not here to act on behalf of CAR, rather I have been on the other side of the fence and I see the good work it is doing, particularly with respect to passengers and its fairness towards the airline industry. I appreciate what Mr. Gallagher is saying, namely, that it will get the resources it badly needs to look after passenger rights and also with respect to this transition, the cost of which will not be as significant as has been bandied around. I appreciate the Chairman facilitating me.
