It is clearly very evident from the representatives of both airlines that they are frustrated by how the Government has handled the entire aviation situation. Mr. Wilson, in his opening statement, referred to the decisions taken on the Cork and Shannon bases. He said he was really disappointed that he had not heard from either the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, or the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, at the time. He said the decision could have been averted had he had a conversation with either the Minister or Minister of State. I ask him to quickly elaborate on that point.
