I want to continue to see the investment here in Dublin Airport.
We have the planning permission through now on Metrolink, which is going to be a very important piece of infrastructure here.
If it gets through the judicial review?
I'm confident it will.
And I'm confident that will be done expeditiously.
And I'd still say to those who have taken the judicial review, I know people are reflecting on that right now.
Mediation is in place.
And I think there's a way for this to be mediated out so we can get to start the project, which we're funding for the first time.
But to get back to your...
particular point in relation to Dublin Airport.
Yes, it is critical.
It's critical.
It grows.
It employs directly on the campus about 24,000 people.
It underpins about 125,000 jobs and actually is responsible, Dublin Airport, for about 3% of GNP per annum.
It's an amazing statistic.
And the distraction?
Yeah, the distraction, I think that's a matter between I'm not the employer, I'm the shareholder.
So the board and the executive, I've encouraged them to continue to work together to resolve this one way or the other.
And I don't have a say in that.
