I thank Mr. O’Leary for appearing before the committee today. I wish to continue the discussion on the tunnel at Dublin Airport. The DAA would pride itself as being quite profitable, professional, forward-thinking, well planned and all the rest of it. Mr. O’Leary is saying that the DAA is wasting €200 million on this. The DAA is saying that there is a safety element to it, because it will be taking 3,500 vehicle movements off the tarmac, and that this is backed up by the safety regulator. Does Mr. O’Leary consider that there is any credibility to that argument?
