On the issue of choice as it relates to Cork and other more regional airports, what more can be done? I understand there is one major airport in the country. It is the one that has the most flights and gets the most traffic. It is obviously where the carriers want to move from and to, but we have the resources of the other airports. We have capacity at Cork Airport, which is represented today, and at Shannon and Knock airports. We do not need to build any more and we do not need huge investment to increase the volume of passengers who can use those airports. What is the obstacle, block or difficulty in overcoming that?
