Mr. Paul Brandon:

Where passengers travel is ultimately driven by demand and existing routes. If there was a system of dispersing passengers, we would need to look at the industry somewhat differently. If a passenger flew into one airport and then travelled across the country that would work against the intention of dispersing passengers to particular airports. From a Shannon Airport perspective, the numbers are low at the moment but it is important that it plays a key role in the recovery. It is important that it maintains connectivity into the region, and similar applies to Cork Airport.
