Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority
Mr. Vincent Harrison:
Yes, the Deputy sold a business case for one of the users as regards the convenience aspect and efficiency of the tunnel operation. The company he mentioned is one of a number of providers of the service. It is located in a particular location at a hangar that it acquired through a tender. Most of the private jet operations accommodated in Dublin Airport operate from the east side where the same conditions do not necessarily apply in terms of exactly what the Deputy described. We have ongoing discussions of the plans and proposals that that company has. We engage with it. One aspect that is very clear to all is that we have an airport security regime which imposes particular restrictions on where passengers of any nature are processed at the airport. That is one of the paramount considerations when we get into the detail of some of those proposals.
