I am sorry; I should have referred to Ryanair. Ryanair does not need to wait long for a decision as to where it might invest as has been evidenced by its recent announcement with the authority at Shannon Airport. The unbundling of the airport authorities only took place three or four months ago against the wishes of many in this House. We have now seen what competition can do. Competition works and will ensure the survival of Shannon Airport. Competition will ensure that what Senator Dooley and other representatives from Clare want will happen. We will see a rail link and an improved road to Shannon Airport because the customers now exist and these facilities will need to be provided.
