Mr. Gary McLean:
As Mr. Jacobs referenced, much consultation was done. I think it was in 2016 when it was first identified that there would need to be a divergence between the two runways. At that time, indicative scenarios and modelling was done. What is happening today is more or less aligned to what those models showed. I do not think there is a whole new area. When we opened first, the Leas-Chathaoirleach will remember we found they did fly over areas that were perhaps not in that modelling, and we quickly worked with our partners to rectify that. We put our hands up and have rectified it since. What one will find now is that they are flying more or less as per what was consulted and what was included in the relevant action.
