Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
CIÉ and DAA: Chairpersons Designate
9:30 am
Mr. Basil Geoghegan:
I will give the Chairman my perspective as a passenger. The model for regulating Dublin Airport is a single till model. It includes profits that the daa makes at the retail outlets it runs. Some of them are concessions and are concessioned out, in which case there is a minimum payment or revenue share. I will defer to the chief executive who is a longstanding retailer and understands how these things work a lot better than me. It is important there is choice so one can spend more or less money. There is some pretty good value to be got at the airport. There are water fountains where one can get a drink of water for nothing.
