I have already touched on my next question in regard to assisting the committee in doing its business as a general ambition. This is with regard to the optimisation of having dual parallel runways. Deputy Smith, others and I would be very grateful for the direction and advice of Mr. Hughes on this. Maximising operations at an airport with dual parallel runways is for the operator but it also has an impact because the SIDs and flightpaths have an impact on people. Will Mr. Hughes consider whether there is there an agency outside of Ireland that has the relevant expertise, either professional or academic? Will he submit at a later time the names of individuals whom he feels would be beneficial to us to discuss the optimisation of an airport with dual parallel runways?
