As a committee, we will visit Schiphol, Rotterdam and The Hague airports tomorrow. What we are told is happening in Amsterdam is the Dutch Government has put a limit on what can happen at Schiphol Airprot and, therefore, Rotterdam, The Hague and presumably other airports in the Netherlands will pick up the additional capacity that just cannot now use Schiphol. Some people are talking about this as an idea for here, and I say this as somebody who is based in Dublin. What are Mr. Walsh's thoughts on that kind of concept for limiting Dublin Airport's capacity and forcing flights to go elsewhere? How would it work or not work?
