Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority

Mr. Kenny Jacobs:

Now we are into running the business and the choices that one makes. Do we want to compromise security? Absolutely not. Do we want to plough on and have 1,000 people so that we have more than 90% of passengers going through in 20 minutes or less? Yes, that is what we want. Do we want to compromise standards elsewhere because we are pulling staff from other parts of the operation into security? No, we do not want to do that. We want to have the right level of security and the resilience around that and the right level of standards across the airport. In our statement, we are saying that we need to have a reset on how the regulatory price is set. The inputs used in their modelling do not reflect the reality of the past two years and the level of service that this committee, the Taoiseach and everybody wants in the coming years.
