Mr. Conal Henry:

I come back to my earlier point, which is that I did not come before the committee with a view on what policy should be. Coincidently, I came here today from Dublin Airport having flown from Vienna. I literally used both products today. In terms of passenger numbers, Vienna International Airport can handle 25 million and Dublin Airport can handle 33 million. They are quite comparable. The difference in product is immense. One of the reasons for that is because Bratislava Airport is 25 minutes from Vienna and acts as its competitor so they have to keep their noses clean. The likes of Ryanair can quite happily move that capacity out of Vienna and into Bratislava. They are competed with on a local level as well, as are most of those other airports. There is intranational and international competition for airports. Dublin Airport is competing in an international environment, but it is not competing intranationally.
