We spoke a while ago about the dominance of Dublin Airport. It is averaging around 87% to 90% and nobody in this room expects to fully recalibrate that in other ways. Given that we have so many airports in the west of Ireland, like Shannon in my own constituency, what is Ryanair's take on that? It goes in and hardballs with Mary Considine and others to try to get arrangements so they can run routes. I am sure it strikes good deals and we are very grateful for what it is doing. What can be done with these airports along the west coast to achieve some form of partial counterbalance to what is happening in Dublin?
