Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

I do not have that information today - I am not sure if colleagues have - but we can provide it. We work very closely with the airlines. My colleagues in the border management unit engage with all the airlines in Dublin Airport. It is quite a productive engagement. We have met them, on our own and with the Garda, over the first quarter of this year in particular.

That engagement has been productive. It is not all about the punitive measure. It is about supporting them to make sure that their ground staff, on the ground in the departing airports, have sufficient training and so on. We have been supporting them on that.
