National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority
Mr. Vincent Harrison:
Some of it is commercially sensitive as regards our position vis-à-viscompetition. At the level of Dublin Airport, the model is set up statutorily to require the DAA to generate a return that is sufficient to pay for its operating costs, invest for the future, pay a dividend to our sole shareholder, the State and operate in that virtuous circle. We feel the margins are too tight to do all of those things in a consistent manner at the same time, but we are not doing this for personal benefit or for the generation of profitability through the enterprise. It is as a State entity.
