I will return to the Heathrow slots. There is an absolute commitment given up to September 2022 that there will be Heathrow slots for flights out of Shannon Airport. What commitment does Aer Lingus give on retaining those Heathrow slots out of Shannon Airport beyond September 2022? Yes, there is the default in terms of the slots themselves overall for Ireland, but what commitment will Ms Embleton give today that the Heathrow slots will be retained beyond September 2022 for Shannon Airport? In that, she might give some indication as to when she anticipates, at the earliest, the Heathrow flights out of Shannon returning and transatlantic flights returning to Shannon.
