I thank the Minister and it is important that is communicated as well. The other thing I wanted to ask about is regional tourism and the Minister might look at this again. We have the Dublin to Kerry route and the Dublin to Donegal route but if one flies into Dublin and wants to hop on the Dublin to Kerry or the Dublin to Donegal flight one has to go back out through security and start into the chaotic process again. Similarly, if one is flying from Kerry to Dublin and is going to take an ongoing flight one has to go out again and come back in, which is bonkers and makes no sense whatsoever. I was on to Kerry Airport about this on Monday to see if it could do something bilaterally with the DAA and I was also on to the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, about it. The experience for tourists trying to get to Kerry or Donegal or trying to go home could surely be helped by squaring that circle and it should not be impossible to fix that one. It is a matter that the Minister could perhaps look at with her tourism hat to see if she can encourage the DAA to do the right thing there.
