We must ensure that we do not have a repeat of the events of last Sunday again. If the system works, it will address the reputational damage that has been done. It is fair to say that the DAA representatives told us that they have a plan in place. They told us that if the authority has all resources that can possibly be put at its disposal, it will get through it. However, the representatives made clear that there is no element of wriggle room for the authority. The organisation is still understaffed. I am sure the Minister of State has had multiple discussions with the DAA on matter, but the part that I am not clear on is whether any other staff can be made available in the short term, while accepting the difficulties and the issues with clearance and all the rest that needs to be done. I am sure that the Minister of State has had a significant number of conversations on the issue, and has considered every State service that we have at our disposal and every airport.
