Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion

Mr. Dalton Philips:

The infrastructure is able to manage that level of throughput. We were at 33 million passengers pre-pandemic, and we will be at 30 plus million next year. At the moment, the limiting resource we have is security screeners. Neither Deputy O'Connor nor I can do that as you need to be certified; it is a skilled role. We need to dramatically increase the amount of screeners we have in our business. At the moment, we do not have enough.
