But I think that will gradually make its way through Europe. And you will see that governments, where they've got board members, will have influence maybe on connections to China or wherever they think is best economically, rather than running up and down to Majorca or up and down to the Balearic Islands. Look what we're doing. Were always here to help. I think the digital COVID certificate gives people the certainty, "I have this. "So it's a long-term deal there that gives us a certainty to grow, and that's what we've been doing throughout Europe. So I'm confident that we're not going to have any difficulties with that.

Eddie has made a huge contribution to Ryanair's growth without ever losing his South Dublin accent, boyish charm or North Dublin address.

But that seems to be more important than restoring connectivity, but the government or whatever seemed to be caught in the headlights of the medics more so than any other country in Europe.

The biggest non-EU market obviously is the UK, but Morocco clearly is a non-EU market. Well, the industry, we do get bad press, and I would say when you look compared to what goes on in shipping or what goes on in agriculture, or what goes on with car use, you don't get Volkswagen getting the same level of negative publicity on the number of cars they produce. So there has been a reluctance politically to take any sort of risk, I suppose, in opening up, and Ireland unfortunately has got a little bit more detached from Europe over the last number of months and don't realise, I suppose, that when the economies return to normal, we will still largely be exposed here because next winter is going to be particularly bleak in the Irish market, I would say. The hold-up has slowed Ryanairs growth plans. Youll also connect with other readers who want to make the world a better place.

I've been here for almost 25 years, and almost every year we talked to Arlanda and never got anywhere, but there's an airport that realises that the incumbent airlines like SAS are not going to grow, and they're hopelessly saddled with state aid that's never going to be paid back, Norwegian capacity has gone, so Arlanda has got to look around and who's going to get the volume? Okay. I think that all adds together, in particular Morocco, it's not just a beach destination, it's a massive expansive country and it has a great tourist and growing product, not just at the beaches, but in the deserts and the cities that they have there, Marrakesh, Fez, Rabat, places like that. So I think there's going to be opportunity for those that are strong and growing, and I think over time most of those airlines are going to find it hard to get back to pre-COVID levels. We're funding a research facility here in Trinity College in Dublin. For what?

Once we deliver on those commitments, I would say that people will see, exactly as they've seen over the years, even in a pre-union environment that we are straight up in how we do our business and the vast majority of our people recognise that. JW: So you did mention briefly fares, average fares, and the question I was going to ask you was to what extent does discounting ticket prices make any difference in this kind of environment?

"There are some markets where we've done particularly strongly in and even throughout this, like the Italian domestic market, and also the Spanish domestic market. Just moving on a little bit, recently, I saw you did a slot swap with EasyJet at Stansted, so you gained some extra slots. I think it's been a relatively strong build driven by much lower fares coming back from around a million passengers in April to the five million as we made our way up into June. Are you confident that that solution will be found in time? We kept our balance sheets strong, and we always thought it was going to be an interruption at sometime but never of this magnitude.

Do I need a PCR test? But if it was all price-led, we'd be back over at 95% or 96%, and clearly we're not there. I think yeah, that is a potential, but in a lot of cases it's about airport cost and competitiveness, not necessarily the destinations in themselves.
