The restart timing has caught the airport out because airlines in other airports were ahead. That has been accepted here today. What has got the airport to this point is how business was restarted.

The new jobs in the airport have been advertised, with a closing date of Monday evening for people to apply. I note the airport is competing against 51 other employers looking for security personnel in the greater Dublin area. The airport wage of €14.41 per hour compares favourably with most rates, but many employers are appealing to the same pool of people and offering far better pay and conditions, without the requirement to commute from Dublin city centre to the airport and back every day. Does it concern the DAA that it does not have enough cherry on the pie to entice people?
