I am glad to hear the Deputy's views on the chairmanship of the Shannon development project. I am nervous about broadening it out too much and having meetings with a variety of different actors or agents because, to be honest, sometimes it is better to listen and talk to people directly. That is what the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, and I have been doing. It is critical that Shannon Airport returns to being a centre for regional development. It is not only the airport because the industrial estate and heritage sites are also critical.
