It is about Ireland Inc. and ensuring that the regions thrive. Let me give a very good example. The Dublin to Kerry route is no longer a public service obligation, PSO, one because representatives of an airline have said the State does not need to subvent the route and the airline will step in as the route is viable, and, as a commercial entity, it sees value in a Dublin to Kerry route. I want all of our airports to reach that point. I am open to a conversation and I am not trying to pre-determine any outcome. This situation is why the committee is so important as it is in a very good position to bring in voices, and maybe different ones than were previously heard.
