Mr. Pat Dawson:

Yes. The smaller airports in Ireland in particular have to be very careful that they are not dominated by one or two airlines because they will hold them to ransom when it comes to putting on routes and will not want to pay their way. Yes, there is competition and predominantly between, as Mr Hackett has said, Ryanair and Aer Lingus. As to the American carriers, for example, their Government told them that they were not going to get any funds from it unless they refunded customers, and that is what they did. We have to have consistency and fair play to the consumer. There are many hundreds of thousands of consumers who do not want to book directly with an airline or with a cruise company but want to speak to their local agent in Thurles or wherever they might be.
