I absolutely agree with everything the witnesses have said. I have been at many meetings with Shannon Group management and the experience we have had has been similar. I thank Mr. McGowan for referring to the separation. That was going to be my next question and I do not need to address it now. I agree with Mr. McGowan and so would Sinn Féin. We never agreed with the separation in the first instance. The numbers prior to Covid-19 demonstrate it was in a decline and the separation had not worked. Have the witnesses received a response from Shannon Group on how it would receive Shannon Airport going back under the DAA?
