I thank the witnesses. Mr. O'Callaghan referred to 747s at Shannon and Cork. Cork Airport might query that. It is important that we have collaboration.

How would Mr. Drennan describe the collaboration to avoid the disruption that he speaks about? Can he explain to the people who are watching or listening at home, in simple terms, the real potential impact that could happen?

The Cork to Santander service has been discontinued, which is disappointing. Could Brittany Ferries outline whether there are plans to engage with Cork port about reopening that route and is it open to the possibility of Cork being a hub of connectivity?
