I will answer all of the questions but if I missed any we will take a note and get back to members individually. Deputy Dooley asked about the allocation of €10 million. Between €4 million and €10 million is spent on public service obligation air services and contracts for the Donegal to Dublin and Kerry to Dublin routes. The operational expenditure subvention is €3.27 million to cover losses in the airports in Donegal, Knock, Kerry and Waterford and to provide core airport facilities, air traffic control, security, safety and emergency services, etc. The €4 million capital figure will be spent on safety and security-related projects which are necessary to ensure compliance with domestic and international regulations at all four airports.
