Cork had transatlantic flights via Norwegian Air. We are competing with Dublin - there is no point in saying we are not - and the western seaboard is competing with the eastern seaboard. Mr. Geoghegan is giving me answers, but there is clearly a need to re-examine national aviation policy. We cannot have a situation where Dublin Airport is bursting at the seams when another State asset that is not that far away has significant excess capacity. This could include Cork as well. Does Ms. Geoghegan see the DAA's role as just having Dublin Airport compete against all the other airports in Ireland for international business?
