I thank the Minister, the Minister of State and the officials for coming in. It is much appreciated. I want to ask the Minster about the ongoing shambles in Dublin Airport. I know it is not directly under her remit but what is under her remit is the reputational damage to Irish tourism that arises from this. Is there a strategy to try to deal with that reputational damage? We know the debacle has been broadcast by international news agencies. Is there a way to try to restore confidence to people who are considering holidaying in Ireland that they will not be spending half of their holiday in the airport trying to get out of here again? What has been going on there is awful. Is there a plan to try to fix some of the damage?
