Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion
Gerry Horkan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
My final point is on public transport access. I know people who have posted on Twitter or X, whatever it is called, who were trying to get the Aircoach at 4 a.m. They dropped their daughter down to the Talbot Hotel in Stillorgan at 4 a.m. and the bus driver said that the service was pre-book only, the bus was full and they should get a cab. Equally, as Mr. Jacobs will be aware, people post that they came out of Dublin Airport and there were no taxis and the buses were all full. What is Mr. Jacobs doing with the public transport operators to get greater capacity from every part of Ireland? The DAA makes lots of money out of car parking but more people can go by bus. The cap is all about land-side access. This is the problem. What is Mr. Jacobs doing to solve it?
