Mr. Sean Brogan:

The PSO routes in Kerry and Donegal are operated by Stobart Air contracted by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. We commenced the route to Donegal a couple of weeks ago and the PSO was renewed in Kerry. As an example of the potential that exists, about 18 months ago we started to implement through tickets on the route to Kerry from the United States. This allowed passengers to book a flight from New York to Kerry, albeit with a change in Dublin. The advantage and the uplift was significant.
