I am informed by the Dublin Airport Authority that in the week of the Ryder Cup four hundred and ninety business and general aviation aircraft landed in Dublin airport compared with one hundred and fifty eight in this category for the corresponding period in 2005. I am advised by the Irish Aviation Authority that no fixed wing aircraft arrived at Weston Aerodrome during the period of the Ryder Cup.

The requirements for airport and aircraft security as prescribed by EU Regulation 2320/2002 and associated implementing legislation were applied in the normal way.
