Mr. Jim Waldron:

The Deputy is right. It is in the laws of the DAA that a car without a permit cannot stop at Dublin Airport to do a pick-up. There are only two designated stops, at terminal 1 and terminal 2. If you pick up anywhere else, you are liable for a fine. That is probably why taxi drivers were passing the Deputy by. This is something the representatives have wanted to discuss, about when there is downtime at Dublin Airport and not enough taxis, how we facilitate that. The Deputy must remember that we are competing against the city centre and late night what-have-you. People probably feel it is more profitable to work in the city rather than to go to the airport.
