Slot access to Heathrow from Shannon is a critical component of regional development. Mr. Moriarty has identified the incumbents that exist, going back to the time that the State sold its final shareholding to IAG. That will come up for review next year. Would the witnesses envisage or be open to a continuation of that encumbrance based on Aer Lingus now requiring a debt pile from ISIF? Has Aer Lingus been asked for that? Have there been any discussions or consideration about the retention of that encumbrance based on what is now required by Aer Lingus?
