Mr. Colm Barrington:

I wish to make just one comment. I do not know where the figure of 1,200 redundancies in Aer Lingus came from. Somebody issued that figure without any foundation or basis for it. There is no basis whatsoever for it.

We can grow this company slowly - and we can also grow employment and tourism slowly - or we can grow it exponentially, as Mr. Kavanagh has outlined. That would have a huge impact on all aspects of the economy, but particularly on employment. Employment will grow significantly as a result of this transaction.
