Mr. Ronan Gallagher:

That is a matter of some debate. None of the other airports in Ireland is regulated so they are free to set their prices as they wish. The price set for Dublin Airport essentially becomes a market price or reference point for other airports. If Dublin Airport was not regulated it would be able to take a very dominant position in the market. It is reasonable to conclude that would not necessarily be good for the other airports as regards Dublin Airport's ability to encroach on their customers. The regulation is a good thing in terms of keeping the DAA growing. There is no direct link between the price set for Dublin Airport and those set for other airports, but it represents a reference point.
