Mr. Michael O'Leary:

We would share those views and that sentiment. Dublin Airport has an extraordinary opportunity now that it has opened a second runway. There are certain planning restrictions we want to see eased. Having a second runway there is infrastructure that will serve Ireland well for the next 50 years. The airport does not have sufficient terminal capacity. What was happening in pier D and the old pier A in terminal 1 this summer was not safe. There was huge overcrowding and we tried to get flights out as quickly as possible. It was difficult for passengers to get to the aircraft. We need an extension of pier D. The only way it can extend is up in front of the old hangars. We have been calling on Dublin Airport to develop that for probably the past two or three years. It can be done in the next two or three years. The money is there to do it. You just divert the €200 million you are proposing to waste on a tunnel and develop the passenger facilities that need to be built there. Some of the old hangars have to be moved. They can go over the west side because the aircraft can move across a taxiway without any difficulty.
