Mr. Donal Moriarty:

I will comment on Cork. I know Cork very well, I know Cork Airport very well and I know Páirc Uí Chaoimh very well, so I am happy to visit at any time.

As regards the number of aircraft based in Cork, this refers back to the answer I gave a little earlier about Shannon. It relates to our short-haul fleet size and the seven aircraft reduction we had to implement as a result of Covid-19. The Senator will be aware that we have a strong level of service from Cork Airport. On the Cork to London-Heathrow route we normally have four per day. With the mandatory capacity reduction imposed by Heathrow Airport, it is typically three per day at present, but we are trying to re-accommodate those passengers on other flights usually out of Cork within the same day.

We are always open to the possibility of additional services from all our airports, but that is dependent upon aircraft availability and it also has to be assessed from the perspective of what is most viable and what is the most profitable deployment of the aircraft once we have it. However, currently we are constrained in terms of our fleet size.

Does Ms Embleton with to add anything?
