I have a question of local interest to me and do not expect an immediate reply, but the Minister might give me one in writing. Earlier, the HSE told us that the Department engaged the DAA to carry out the follow-up calls in respect of people coming into the country. What tendering process was done for that or how was Dublin airport selected over, say, Shannon, which is going through a round of redundancies? There is a lot of capacity there and sometimes it seems as though there is only one airport in the country when it comes to Irish officialdom. The Minister is welcome to reply now or in writing; it is up to him.
