Mr. Donal Moriarty:

----is actually correct. It was a new runway whereas the development at Cork Airport involved making improvements to the existing runway. They were fundamentally different types of project from a cost perspective.

As to what Dublin Airport is saying, the main challenge is planning. A strategic planning application is needed for permission to develop all of these facilities at the airport, but it has not been made. It needs to be made with a degree of urgency because it will inevitably be appealed. People have a right to appeal and we are not challenging or questioning that, but it adds to the timeline. For the airlines, the problem this will pose is that there is a likelihood that the infrastructure will not come on stream early enough to match our growth plans. We have aircraft coming. Ms Embleton referred to them. We received eight A321neo aircraft just before and during Covid and we have six A321XLR aircraft being delivered to us over the coming years.
