Mr. Michael O'Leary:

The argument is that Dublin is already a big beast. It already has a second runway that is underutilised. It does not have enough capacity, stands or terminal capacity to allow us to add more aircraft in Dublin Airport. We are already growing in Shannon Airport. We have gone from two to three based aircraft there. We are talking about going from two to three based aircraft in Cork. This growth is entirely independent of Dublin. Dublin is already a big beast. The two are no longer interchangeable. We are not saying that if something is not done we will move planes out of Dublin to Shannon or out of Cork to Shannon. Shannon and Cork are growing very successfully on their own now.
