So we are talking about €50 and a delay of about three hours. On the availability of the equipment, Mr. Lord said it was in the US. If Ireland was to move in this way as part of the introduction of the digital green cert and in conjunction with everything else that is happening across Europe, and if Mr. Lord was told that aviation would be beginning again by 1 July, how easy would it be for him to lay his hands on this equipment? How quickly could he get it deployed? What is the lead-in time? This feeds into a lot of the work of this committee. We are screaming at the Department of Transport to come forward with a plan, recognising it will not happen with the flick of a switch----
