Michael McNamara: My question was on Shannon Airport facing competition based on economy of scale, but Mr. Kavanagh is talking about driving growth through Dublin Airport. The more growth Aer Lingus can generate at Dublin Airport, presumably the greater the economies of scale and the more money one can make.

Michael McNamara: I do not wish to take away from Mr. Kavanagh’s happy announcement. He told us he would receive share options, which is standard in the airline business. I congratulate him on that.
