In his statement Mr. Walsh indicated that the recovery in Irish aviation appears to be ahead of Europe and the rest of the world. Why has that been the case?

The question for people at the moment is the cost of air travel. What will we see happening in the next six months to a year in terms of the cost of travel? I invite Mr. Walsh to make a general comment and then I will come back with a few other questions. Why has the Irish aviation sector recovered? Mr. Walsh says it will be 100% of 2019 levels next year while worldwide it is approximately at 75% of 2019 levels. Could he make a general comment on that? Where does he see the price of air travel going?
