The legislation will allow the passenger be charged. It can get to the end of the line. What will be the practical implications of that if this goes through, which it will? When a person books a flight will it be a hidden charge, an increase or will it be added to the cost of the flight? The cost will be minimal in Dublin Airport, which has 30 million passengers, but is there a bigger implication for regional airports? Knock Airport recently announced an investment policy for security and safety at the airport. Will there be bigger implications for the regional airports? They are crucial to regional tourism.
