Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Aviation Policy: Ryanair
Mr. Michael O'Leary:
That is an example of incredible success where the regions are benefiting from the growth and strength at Dublin Airport. My good friend JP McManus will have the Ryder Cup in Adare in 2026. I am sure we will get lots of traffic coming to Shannon in 2026. The way to build that traffic and help Shannon grow is to continue to make it easier for people who want to come to Dublin to come there but move them around the country when they get there. The real challenge here is to get them on the island first and then try to move them around it as best we can. If we are to insist that they can only go to Shannon or to Cork, we will not get them here.
