I thank all of the witnesses for their presentations. I refer to Mr. Cullen's presentation. What type of engagement has happened between airlines and Government to get the funding injection needed? It is welcome that Aer Lingus has been provided with a loan. To what extent do the witnesses believe that indigenous airlines need funding to keep them going so that we have an airline industry after this?

There is broad consensus from the witnesses on the German model. I ask Ms Connelly to expand on what that means in real terms. What is Germany doing that we could do?
