There are a couple of matters on which I would like a little clarity. Parking is an issue. I am from the west of Ireland, where transport and public transport links to anywhere are pretty poor. This is certainly the case for the airport. For many people, particularly if they are going on holidays and if they have luggage, they will need to park. I appreciate that there are parking spaces. In fact, my daughter went away the other evening and her car is parked there. There are long-term car parking spaces, but it is restricted and it is tight. That is what people are concerned about.

There is an issue with regard to the quick-park car park that Mr. Jacobs has suggested. I assume the DAA would lease that on a rolling basis until such time as the CCPC has looked at this situation. Mr. Jacobs is saying that the owner is not interested in that. It is my understanding that the owner is NAMA. Has the DAA made any representations to the Government or to the Minister in respect of an intervention being made in order to try to resolve this problem? It could be resolved if the right sort of attention were paid to it.
