Mr. Conal Henry:

One gets the sense that the airport worries that its charges are too high because it is losing customers. If the airport charges in Shannon are too high, the customers will go to Cork but if the airport charges in Dublin are too high, they are still going to go to Dublin. Dublin's record is 33 million passengers, which is a serious number for a country of our size. That is a hell of an achievement but the product is challenged. The airport is at or ahead of capacity. That same flight I talked about was actually stacked and that was a first for me. Flights used to be stacked over Heathrow but my flight was actually stacked, flying up and down the coast. From an emissions point of view, it is not good when aircraft are waiting to land. That has never happened to me before.
