I thank the witnesses for their submissions and presentations. The submission from Ryanair contained a suggestion that there would be a reduction in airport charges to help the industry. Has that been done in any other EU member state at this stage?

My second question relates to the criticism by some of the witnesses of the Government's approach to foreign travel and the issuing of the green list. To what extent has activity in the airline industry increased since policy changes have been introduced in other countries? We know that there was a 95% reduction in flight activity overall, with a reduction in the April monthly total from 14 million trips the previous year to 40,000 this year. To what extent has there been any recovery in the numbers in the rest of Europe?
