Mr. Ryan
The Deputy's question seems to be founded on a misapprehension. As I informed him in a reply on the 3rd November no subsidy is paid in respect of the operations of Aer Lingus. The question of the commercial justification for the operation of any particular route in the Company's network is one solely for the Company.
