I thank the Minister and the Minister of State for their time. I will ask about an issue that seems to be an anomaly, namely, the way in which environmental taxes are raised, for example, short-haul versus long-haul and connecting flights. This is an issue that was raised with the committee and is recognised at national and European level. Are there plans to address it? It seems it would place a heavier burden on Irish passengers who are going point to point.
