Mr. Kieran O'Callaghan:

If we are talking about Shannon Airport, there is infrastructure in place to handle two 747 freighters per day. We also have to look at the import model for goods coming back in. Our import model is normally 24 to 36 hours behind our exports. Everybody all over the world is exporting on a Friday and Saturday. They might not cross. Looking at the enthusiasm of Ms Mary Considine and her team in Shannon Airport, I believe this could be up and running by 1 January, if needed. The aircraft could potentially be sourced. From my perspective, having talked to some airlines, a company going out may or may not look at this option. If a company is going out with the permission of the Department, payments to operators are practically guaranteed by Government. It is huge.
