Returning to airline safety, my biggest concern is Ryanair's email campaign to previous customers telling them that they have the green light, which is encouraging people to travel. This flies in the face of public health advice in Ireland. Obviously, essential travel is different, but it seems that Ryanair is encouraging people who are looking at non-essential travel to do that.

All members have received queries about refunds. We probably do not have time to get into that matter today. That has certainly been an issue for people who had bookings with Ryanair and who need to get those refunds.
