Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion

Mr. Kenny Jacobs:

I am sorry. It is the sooner the better. I would love to be selling to American passengers while they are still in the States browsing the Dublin Airport website and buying arrivals duty-free and picking it up at the Loop when they arrive at Dublin Airport. That is something that exists in other European jurisdictions. It is a great retail opportunity. Those passengers would like it themselves. Also, from a sustainability point of view, if you are from Boston and you want to buy four bottles of Jameson for your month in Ireland, I would prefer you to buy it here, rather than that Jameson travelling all the way transatlantic and back again in the overhead compartment of an aircraft. It is not a good choice for sustainability, so it makes sense-----
