My next question relates to the drop in passenger traffic. I am concerned that the statistics provided by the witnesses show a larger drop in Ireland in airline and passenger traffic through our airports compared with some of our European neighbours. Everybody is aware that travel at present must only be for essential reasons and that holiday and other non-essential travel should not occur. However, it worries me that we are not travelling at the same average rate as our European neighbours, even though we have put many protocols in place and, hopefully, there are more to come. Is that down to the domestic situation in Ireland, or is it connected to the lack of transatlantic traffic, for example?
