Many people in this country are very fond of court. I have asked to see the lease. I have seen the lease and it will stand up. On the basis of Aer Lingus signing off on that caveat, the DAA was in a position to give a licence to Aer Lingus for 20 years. What the Deputy is asking me to do is to tell someone who now has a legal lease licence to give that to someone else on the basis that their requirements must be met within hangar 6. That cannot happen on the basis that I have been advised that Aer Lingus' requirements for the sustainability of the company can only be met in the context of its work within hangar 6-----
