Absolutely. I am more than happy to keep going in this vein if the Chair does not mind. This issue is quite distinct from what Ryanair did. Ryanair continued to fly and put the challenge to consumers; flights were operating and if customers did not embark the airline would not refund them. Was Aer Lingus's practice of operating notional flights for ten weeks and delaying the refund process damaging to the travel agency sector? I am sure travel agents were booking people in that period. I am sure some people made bookings in that period, although perhaps not many. Could Mr. Hackett respond?
