The Minister of State will move on to greater and better things and she may finish up as Taoiseach, which would be great for Galway. We are talking about the current organisation and not her. We have all said that there is a toxicity in that organisation at the moment. Perhaps a new CEO or chairman will make all of that better but I do not know. This debate is not about the Minister of State and never was; it is about the IAA and the relationship that exists between pilots, air traffic controllers, engineers, cabin crews and everyone associated with this work and on whom we depend for our safety. I do not want anybody leaving here today saying that I had a go at the Minister of State and I want to put on record that her bona fides are beyond question.
