Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I do not want to disagree with the Deputy, but he has been quite clear on this since he was appointed fully as chairman of the board of Aer Lingus, as distinct from being acting chairman. As the Deputy knows, he is acting in the capacity of executive chairman at present. The prospects for growth essentially are tremendous and not just on the transatlantic route, although that is where the immediate opportunities lie.
