Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Aviation Policy (Resumed): Regional Airports

Ms Eil?s Docherty:

As the Acting Chair rightly mentioned, car hire was a big issue for us last year. It was quite an achievement for us to get to 90% of 2019 figures, given that there was very little car hire available. We have spoken to our local car hire company and it assured us that it has a much better supply of cars this year, so the cost of car hire has come down, which is very welcome.

Security going through Dublin Airport was also difficult last year. Those issues have resolved slightly but we are a bit concerned about the summer.
