Professor Mark Ferguson:

That would not be appropriate. I would be very happy to help in any way possible, and I am sure any member of the expert group would be capable of doing that. I have the job of running Science Foundation Ireland, and it is important for the people involved either in aviation or in the hotel business for the HSE and the Department of Health to be involved. I am not shirking a responsibility. I am simply saying there are not enough hours in the day, and it is not my job. However, I am very happy to help or advise in any way that could assist the setting up of such a pilot.
