Mr. Cathal Guiomard:

We have to be careful in scrutinising engagement from the industry.

Mr. O'Leary has written to us and has made public statements a number of times on the area of air carrier licensing, all of which is oriented towards the fact that he thinks the licensing system should permit fewer companies to hold licences in the industry. Our perspective on this and on other work is that we need to be mindful of the interests of the public at large, rather than of other companies in the business which might, for entirely different reasons, not favour new entry into the industry or companies remaining in the industry.
