Mr. Michael O'Leary:

I do not think so. We hold new route launches with Dublin Airport. We had a very good relationship with Dalton Philips. We were very supportive of Dublin Airport. We could have been out there last April, May and June during the baggage crisis, castigating it and saying, "We told you this. This is a rubbish public sector", but we did not. We said we need solutions and suggested calling in the Army. We said that we would open our check-in desks earlier. We paid our people more to come in early. We checked in bags the night before. On the ground, we have very good relations with the DAA. It is not us that came up a plan to spend €200 million on a tunnel. That is a DAA proposal. We challenged the proposal. We are happy to debate it, whether here or somewhere else. We are not in here just taking pot shots at the DAA. But if we are asked to put together a sensible, forward-looking aviation policy for Ireland it is one with lower charges in Shannon and Cork to allow them to grow and one that stops wasting money at Dublin airport. We do not say €200 million should not be spent, we just ask to please spend €200 million on extending the passenger facility, which is where we need it and suggest that if the DAA wants to build a tunnel under it, to do it in ten years' time.
