As the Deputy will be aware, I have had ongoing engagement with the DAA. I do not need to say it, but we are all very clear that what happened on Sunday cannot happen again and cannot be repeated. We have had very robust engagement with the DAA. I know that representatives of the authority appeared before the committee earlier and, therefore, members are well briefed on its plans. I will monitor the delivery of the plan over the weekend very closely, as will the Minister for Transport and the Government. I have told the authority that it needs to put in place all measures to ensure that passengers catch their flights this weekend, that it must communicate clearly with passengers, and ensure that passengers can move safely through the airport. I have made clear that anything that can be done should be done to accommodate those measures. I am constantly engaging with the DAA. We will review the matter, which is critical. It is about passengers having confidence in flying not only this weekend, but beyond it. It is all about the delivery of the plan that the DAA presented to the committee over the weekend. We will monitor the situation very closely.
