Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion
Mr. Kenny Jacobs:
They are linked. The infrastructure application is more related to capital expenditure than operational expenditure.
On the question of whether a charge increase allows us to deliver on the infrastructure application, the answer is that it does. It allows us to deliver operational resilience, which is different from infrastructure. I am referring to the standards at the airport, the security queues and the percentage of passengers we want to get through in 20 minutes or less. The two aspects, while not fully linked, are linked.
