These are the questions that I have put to the DAA. The crux of the issue seems to be around the security staff who are X-ray scanners and are specially trained. That seems to be the issue. There are other issues across the airport around managing queues. There are plenty of companies out there that provide services to manage crowds going to concerts, for example. If the DAA needs to hire such companies, it has the resources to do so. The authority must put in place what is required. The organisation has presented its plan. I will engage with the DAA every day this week. I will be actively monitoring progress and ensuring that the plan is delivered. That is what the passengers are looking for. To answer the Deputy's question, I have told the authority that the resources must be put in place for whatever needs to be done.
