Kieran O'Donnell: I know this is straying slightly off-topic. Ms Hynes was brought in for her expertise on the assimilation of organisations. Did independence work for Shannon Airport?

Kieran O'Donnell: It is something I question all the time. It is an airport but obviously it has other revenue streams. Does it provide a continual hunger to drive the airport?
