I thank Ms McNamara for her presentation. I only have one question. She might have seen an incredible story in today's newspapers about Ryanair, which has been in receipt of significant public moneys throughout the course of the pandemic. Passengers who were unable to travel due to Covid carried out chargebacks on their credit cards and, as a result, Ryanair is saying that they are banned from flying with it in future. Will that be covered by this Bill or is it covered by existing consumer legislation? Is this something that a company is able to do as a consequence of someone using a chargeback?
