This is my final question to Mr. Philips, as my time is very limited. He knows what is coming down the tracks. We are going to reach a position in a few weeks' time that will be remarkably difficult for Dublin Airport to handle. Would he not look at relocating routes as a temporary measure to the key regional airports, that is, to Cork, which his organisation manages, and to Shannon, to get over the situation we are in? Some 1,000 people missed their flight. If this gets any worse, the number could be much more significant than that. Would Mr. Philips not look at that potential emergency action and work with the other airports to redirect some flights on a temporary basis to get the DAA over the position it currently finds itself in?
