I welcome Mr. Henry and am delighted to see him at this meeting. I thank him for hosting us at the airport recently. It was appreciated.

I have one eye on the screen because I am due to speak in the Dáil Chamber in seven minutes, so I will get straight into my questions. People in Clare and the wider mid-west are excited by Mr. Henry's appointment. They see it as giving new life and new hope to the airport yet again. However, there is a lingering question over Mr. Pádraig Ó Céidigh's resignation. How will Mr. Henry's tenure be different from his? Is Mr. Henry there to stay and does he feel that the current managerial configuration allows him a meaningful function in the airport's running?
