I agree. What happened to the individual from the Chairman's constituency is very regrettable. Unfortunately, it is a sad reality and fact of life, no matter the mode of transport there are accidents. This meeting is to tease out and investigate the issues around this mode of transport and to learn from other countries. Mistakes have been made. Paris is cited as one of the worst places in that regard, where they are unregulated and unlicensed. It is a complete mess. We can learn from that and build out something that negates some of the congestion difficulties Mr. O'Leary mentioned. It could be a net positive if we see it in that way and do not take a head in the sand approach.

I thank the witnesses for their engagement today.
