I will come in now. I again the officials for their attendance. We have a concentration in our airport traffic, with 84% of it going through Dublin Airport. I looked at some other European countries. In Portugal, 54% of traffic goes through its dominant airports. It is as high as 70% in Belgium. If we look at our nearest neighbours, at Heathrow it is 30%. Is 84% of all air traffic going through one airport a matter of concern for the IAA?
