I get that. We had the Irish Aviation Authority in the other day. The IAA is responsible for the way planes fly and it cannot have an off day because if that happens then 30 aircraft will crash into each other. The DAA seems to have a more lax approach. I say that because I have not got a sense from Mr. Philips or his team that the DAA has a response or drill available.

When the muck hits the fan, there does not seem to be a response that follows a rigorous routine in which, if a given thing happens, you proceed through certain steps.
