Mr. Basil Geoghegan:

The natural place will be west but we were proud of the fact we got connectivity to China. Equally, I know that if I am in Helsinki I have a much better proposition for European airlines who want to go to China. They can fly over the top and it is lower cost, faster and lower carbon. We need to acknowledge we need thick routes with many passengers when we do something to that far away.

On concerns, we are lucky that we have pretty vibrant airlines at Dublin Airport. We are part of the fact they are so vibrant. It is great and I compliment all of them, both the large ones and some of the smaller ones who are also vibrant. The other concern I have, and it is not a worry but it is at the forefront of our minds, is that as we take these steps we cannot be short-sighted. We need to be long-sighted and think about the sustainability of what we are doing. I want to attract airlines who use new equipment. If we have an airline using new equipment and sustainable aviation fuel, that is terrific and we have to make sure they can fuel up on sustainable fuel. That is the same if it is electricity in five or ten years' time. On the point about Noel Dempsey, one will not get applause for it right now but it does not matter, one can rest easy in future years knowing one did the right thing and that is our North Star on this.

I think that answers the direct questions.
