I suggest that the DAA should manage its demand in a way that looked at the overall piece by taking cargo flights out of Dublin, say it is closed for cargo business and that the next business it will concentrate on are the passengers that need to be in Dublin. It will then be able to get a little more. If the DAA said to Fingal County Council that it was getting rid of its cargo business, that would take trucks and cars off the M50. Why does the DAA not offer something like that, do a deal with Shannon, and let the cargo activity go through there?
