That is a matter for the airport. It has good working relationships with SIPTU, other unions and the workers directly. It will have to assess and manage that situation. Yesterday, the Minister of State and I acknowledged that the workers in the airport had given everything in recent weeks, for example, working overtime and in different roles than they would originally have expected to be in. They rightly have pride in the airport and in their work.

The airport will manage that. It was right for the Government to have the Defence Forces on standby to deploy if they are needed, and that was the agreement.
