Gerry Horkan: I will do my tongue-in-cheek bit now. Mr. O'Leary might be willing to invite us as committee members to see Ryanair's headquarters, as the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, did. I think a lot of members might be interested in visiting.

Gerry Horkan: I am sure we will pay our fair share. I do not want to let Mr. O'Leary go before asking about ATC. I do not know how we have managed to get this far without mentioning ATC at all. Where are we going with ATC in Europe? It has been very challenging for a lot of flights. We hope to get Eurocontrol into the committee some time after the summer. Is it getting better or worse? Is there a...

Gerry Horkan: I am long enough around that I did a project on Ryanair when I was in school in 1988, when it was a very small little airline. It is amazing to see what it has transformed into.
