Will Mr. McLean consider coming back to the committee with that information? It would be very helpful. Will he consider coming back to the committee to identify the locations of the 606 properties identified earlier?

Regarding the maintenance schedule, the DAA does notify, by and large. It sends emails and puts information up on the website. I thank the witnesses for that. I have asked questions of various authorities and everybody said the same thing.

There is no statutory arrangement, which I find odd. However, that is not Mr. McLean’s issue. My issue relates to whether there is a minimum notice period that the DAA would be prepared to stick to for maintenance. I am aware that inclement weather has had a bearing on the airport’s capacity to take the rubber off the runway, among other things. I completely understand and respect the position on that; ultimately, however, having regard to the notification of people east of the north runway, namely the people of Portmarnock who have never had a plane in the sky over their houses before, it is not exactly nice to have planes overhead all of a sudden at 4 a.m. I am wondering whether the DAA would volunteer to have a minimum notice period.
