Mr. Joe Gilmore:

I thank Deputy Dillon. To answer his questions, we have a comprehensive marketing plan ready to go once we get the green light to try to recover the 500,000 passengers of traffic we get from the UK market. That is the area in which we see recovery happening immediately. We then hope to move on to the European routes next summer.

With regard to the SDZ, we are the only airport in the country with this designation. We are in ongoing dialogue with the local authority, which is the planning authority that granted this designation. There is significant scope for the creation of up to 5,000 jobs in that zone. The local authority is moving forward on plans in that regard with us. The next stage involves producing an overall development plan which would provide the financial incentive to make it attractive for companies to locate there.
