I am thinking of places like Seoul, Tokyo and, as mentioned by Mr. Geoghegan, Hong Kong which is served by Cathay Pacific and other eastern power blocks, cities and locations. There appears to be a rebalancing internationally of the world economy. For Ireland, it is important that within the DAA, as the agency tasked with responsibility for Dublin Airport, there would be a strong focus on growing these connections. At a political level, we must do all we can to grow that business. That is important. I was anxious to make that point today. I thank Mr. Geoghegan for his interesting feedback and his time.
