Mr. Pádraig Ó Céidigh:

Unfortunately, Covid and Covid-type viruses are here to stay. They were here before, but we did not fully recognise them for what they were. We have restructured the way we do business and we look after our staff and passengers. That will continue happening in Shannon.

An aeroplane has similar air filters to the ones found in operating theatres. The filtration of viruses and other particles is as pure as one will find in an operating theatre. That has been the case for years at airlines with newer aircraft, and Ryanair in particular. Ryanair is a world leader in terms of the environment and air filtration.

Shannon has another interesting aspect. There were 1.7 million passengers pre pandemic, but Shannon can cater for more than 4 million. It is a big airport. As such, it is much easier to have physical distancing in a place like Shannon than it is in a place where there is a large number of passengers but a congested area. I hope that, from a marketing point of view, this is one of the points we could make about Shannon. People can park their cars at Shannon Airport and be through security in ten or 15 minutes. There are very few international airports in the world that can provide that.
