How many staff are coming from Cork? There is a suggestion that there are other personnel that the DAA could draw on such as the Defence Forces and the Civil Defence. Is there any other pool of people that the DAA is looking for? I will make the following point on Cork Airport, and I have made it in respect of other airports. There is a challenge to find suitably qualified people who have suitable clearance and expertise. If the DAA is leaning on other airports in its hour of need, that favour must be returned in the future. If Government has a role in that, such as in the upcoming national policy, it needs to make due note of that. Are there additional resources that could be drawn upon?
