We could probably talk for another couple of hours but I think we have covered many points in this discussion. I thank the witnesses for coming in. It is important that we hear from Ryanair as the biggest airline operating at Dublin Airport. Obviously, we all know this fact. It is a significant part of the airport. It is the same with Aer Lingus, which is not as big as Ryanair but is still a big airline. We asked its representatives to come in.
I am just wondering about the flights. Ryanair has 33 aircraft based here now. Presumably, however, many other Ryanair planes are coming into Dublin Airport from other bases. Is there an analysis of the figures in this regard? Is it that 75%, for example, is based on Dublin traffic or that 25% is coming from other bases or has anyone ever looked at these figures?
