Ms Lynne Embleton:

In Ireland. An important aspect of the emissions trading scheme is that there is a level playing field for all the airlines involved. The ETS works very well for short haul. We need a level playing field for long haul. Otherwise the carbon does not go. It is just other countries or hub airports that benefit. That is an important part of developing emissions trading on a global level. Then it comes down to infrastructure. While we would very much like to see growth in the other airports, the infrastructure at the hub is different infrastructure. It is infrastructure that allows fast and seamless connections because other hub airports around Europe will take those customers and passengers in their hubs if Dublin is not able.
