From all of the discussion and debate that has taken place, it seems the nub of the issue is that the DAA does not have enough staff to cater for the number of people who are going through the airport. The DAA dismissed hundreds of experienced staff. There is no doubt, as has been conceded, that this was done too quickly and that the DAA cut too deep. What process did it engage in before making that decision? It possibly started with the managing director looking at the issue. I am sure the decision went through the DAA's financial unit. It will have gone through at the executive level and through the board. Am I correct in saying that there are four worker directors on the board?
