Situation at Dublin Airport: Discussion

Mr. Vincent Harrison:

We have already augmented the staff and taken a number of measures, particularly in terms of enhanced deep cleaning. As the Senator will appreciate, with the volumes of people in each of the areas, particularly airside, and the fact that previously the airport operated without people airside for the early hours of the morning, we now have people on the premises at all times, so that situation has really got in the way of our ability to deliver some of those services, in addition to resource constraints. Those constraints are being alleviated but by no means eliminated. I believe that having had our intense focus on the security issues, which were a major concern to our ability to maintain operations and I thank the Senator for his comments about our response to those, we are absolutely turning our energies to each of the areas in which standards are not at the level at which we would like.
