The dividend is there and Aer Rianta International can afford to pay it. I am not clear whether the money is in the bank, in a drawer, in the reserves or elsewhere. I can check that information. It is in a position to pay the dividend, and that is part of the financial architecture of this scheme.

All companies buy and sell assets. If companies buy assets, it follows that companies sell assets. Otherwise, there is contradiction. Companies buy and sell and trade.
