I propose that when we go about the national aviation policy - we will have to do quite a body of work on this - our committee should be cognisant of the lack of regional balance in it and we should seek to insert new criteria. We appreciate what the IAA does. It works in frameworks and we have to set the frameworks. Going forward, there should be some criteria whereby when an application goes in to the IAA to run a new service in and out of this country, Ireland Inc. says Dublin has enough and it should be moved out to the regions. A policy insert into the national aviation policy could do that.
