That is very much an evolving technology. An example was cited of what the French airports are doing in preparation for the Olympic Games in 2024. We will look at that and liaise with the Department of Defence and the Air Corps. However, as I said earlier, while we are willing to deploy such technology, it is not going to be done immediately. On an immediate basis, we are going to have rely on An Garda Síochána working with the DAA to use the existing legislative powers and technology we have while looking for those other technological options as quickly as we can, though I understand it is not without its own complexities.
