My point is that the DAA appears before our committee regularly enough and will say that it operates in the marketplace, in the private sector, and must turn a profit.

Dalton Philips would have a very private sector kind of view to my mind, at least. For me, it does not add up that it would not want to. Is the friction that continues to exist between the DAA and Ryanair resolvable? Surely it is not good for Ireland? It cannot always be just about airport charges all the time. It feels like this is going on for decades, since I was in my teens, with Ryanair versus DAA. These are two good news stories, if you want to look at it in a purely economic perspective, but there is always this friction.
