I thank Mr. Gray, I am in agreement with him. I want to refer back to a point he made a few moments ago about the future development of Dublin Airport and how important it is for Ireland Inc. He specifically mentioned the regions. On that basis, I am thinking of Shannon and Cork airports as well as an application from my own constituency of Waterford to try to get our own regional airport off the ground, quite literally. How is the DAA helping with that process? Shannon is no longer part of the DAA's remit but the expansion of Dublin does not really point to helping the regions, although it certainly helps Dublin.
