I refer to working towards the efficiency of the network and bringing it up to a standard, taking that and putting it into an Irish context. The debate is a very live one at the minute because of Dublin Airport's cap. I heard the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, on the radio last week or the week before talking about capacity at Shannon Airport or the regional airports. Does Eurocontrol offer an opinion on that? Mr. Hughes mentioned the advice he could give to states or governments on these issues. Is that one of the types of things Eurocontrol looks towards, that is, the efficient use of the available airport capacity?
