Briefly, I have a question for Dr. Cahill. Denmark and Holland have rejigged their aviation policy to see a more balanced approach to the regional airports. How has that worked?

I also ask the Fórsa representative if the Aer Lingus employees in Shannon been short-changed. It seems they have run out of their cabin training hours. They have expired. Their contracts are not specific to Shannon but rather are specific to the airline as it operates in Ireland and yet they are the ones who seem at all stages of the temporary lay-offs to have had the sword wielded on them first.

I would like an answer to those questions.
