Mr. Vincent Harrison:

Yes. Dublin Airport provides approximately 26,000 car parking spaces split between short term and long term. In technical terms, our products are yield-managed so essentially the demand determines the price at particular times of the year. Prices are lower or higher depending on demand. Typically the type of length of stay that one might have in a short-term car park which obviously has the convenience of being next to the terminals, might be one, two, three days - a lot of short trips, business trips, etc - and people will be familiar with the longer-term car parks being typically for longer stays and having a bus provision. There is a range of choice. The colour schemes that have been quoted have different service levels or are closer or further from the terminals and there are quite different pricing regimes. There is already competition essentially within the car park structure or choice for consumers. For the last number of years, the car park that was referred to, previously operated by QuickPark, has not been in operation and that car park was publicly made available for sale earlier this year. Among discussions we had during the summer, the shortage of car parking spaces available at the airport and the consequent impact on pricing was mentioned. At the time and in other fora, we explained, for example, that our system for the long-term car parking pricing on a per-day rate established a cap of €15 per day. I can 100% guarantee for the limited number of hours I have parked my car in a local car park here, I will pay more for that for my presence here at this meeting that one would do for an overnight 24 hour stay at Dublin Airport. When that car park became available for sale, we expressed our interest and we are in a process. We do not own the car park as yet but would be optimistic or hopeful that in consultation with stakeholders including regulatory stakeholders and on completion of contractual terms, that we would hopefully be in a position to provide that extra car parking capability to the public for next summer if it transpires that we are in a position to complete that sale.
