Ms Mary Considine:

I thank Deputy O'Connor and that is a very good point. We see it as a huge opportunity for Shannon and for Ireland to leave, as was said earlier, a lasting legacy from this Ryder Cup. We are involved in a number of different forums. The local authorities in the region are looking at how we can have the region ready to maximise the opportunity for it. We are working very closely on a group Fáilte Ireland is involved in to promote the region. Within our own business we are looking at our facilities for general aviation traffic, corporate jets and the direct scheduled services that will bring in people. We had a very good trial run of it last year with the pro-am in Adare, and we saw first-hand the huge volume of corporate jets and the operational issues involved in handling those, such as working with Customs and Border Protection, CBP, to preclear some of those private aircraft. Thankfully, it all went well. There is a huge opportunity for the region and for Ireland, and it is all of us collectively working together. We are looking at our facilities and operations to make sure we are ready, and we are partnering with the local authorities and Fáilte Ireland in preparedness for the Ryder Cup.
