Ms Rose Hynes:

Yes. There are very high volumes going through Foynes as well, so we intend to join the dots in regard to all of that. The greatest volume of cargo traffic leaving Ireland leaves in lorries and trucks. It does not leave Ireland by air. We are looking at that and are working with the Irish Exporters Association. In its recent report, it was very positive in regard to the opportunities for Shannon Airport. We are right in there following that.

In response to Deputy Harrington, we have an ambitious plan. He asked if we had a plan B. One always has a plan B but I will not tell him what it is.
