Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion
Mr. Kenny Jacobs:
I fully agree. Ireland and Dublin need MetroLink. We are fully supportive. I give my total commitment that we are fully supportive. We have a site for the station ready to go.
I disagree, with great respect, and think Dublin Airport should be allowed to grow before MetroLink happens. Otherwise, we are turning away jobs and connectivity that may not come back. More people are coming to the airport on the bus and I hope that continues. We are setting up to allow that to continue. The infrastructure application has the bus station as part of it. I consider it a bus station. I get the bus from the airport sometimes and it is just a bus station when you go out to the atrium near terminal 1. It is a bus station. That will get bigger. We are ready for MetroLink north. We are fully supportive of it and will continue to be.
