Mr. Kevin Thompstone:

I do not have the numbers to hand for the Senator. If we were to go back five, six or seven years ago, Ryanair was a major contributor to traffic at Shannon Airport. It had reduced the number of services in recent years. The great thing about Shannon Airport in recent years is that if people were taking transatlantic flights, for example, a whole range of airlines were flying transatlantic routes. Between Cork and Shannon airports, at the peak in summer 2018 I believe just short of 50 transatlantic services were coming into Ireland every week. We are not just talking about Aer Lingus but United Airlines, American Airlines and Norwegian Air. I am sure I have missed others. We have a good product.
