I do not want a debate, but I asked about the plans for Shannon both in terms of Heathrow and transatlantic routes, and also for a comment on the fact that we are reading reports that under competition rules, the likelihood is that Aer Lingus will be required to sell some of the slots it already has on the Dublin to Heathrow route.

That would result in a loss of the slots to Ireland Inc.
