That is what I am trying to get to the bottom of. All of these foreign companies have located themselves here in the knowledge that we do not have the kind of air freight Cargo Logistics is offering. I am trying to understand where we are missing out. It has always seemed illogical to me that we truck stuff all over Europe. When Dell was here, we were road freighting. I see Mr. Drennan smiling. He may well know this. In fact, he does. A lot of stuff went to Schiphol to onward locations in Europe. There were different offerings even at the time Dell brought in the two Antonov airplanes to fly product out of Shannon. For some reason, it was not viable. Is it something to do with the fact that the logistics business is now so complicated in terms of backloads and forward loads and has become so integrated that it is ultimately cheaper for these companies to get product where they want through this mixture of off the island by truck and on to an airplane? It would be great if somebody could enlighten us on that.
