My next question is on a matter that we discussed before the meeting. Ryanair has some fabulous route offerings to Spain, but its German market seems lacking. That market is well served out of Dublin but not Shannon. When we repeatedly look at the tourism figures for the west, though, German tourists are travelling there for hiking, angling and spending slow-moving holidays on the Wild Atlantic Way. Is Ryanair considering German or Dutch routes at Shannon?
