The DAA is already in breach of the passenger cap. According to the Department of Transport, the figure is 33.5 million people. At our last meeting, Mr. Jacobs said that includes transit passengers and the DAA does not include that in its calculations, even though An Bord Pleanála and other airports do. Today, Mr. Jacobs said that the DAA would be forced into breaching the cap. If, according to Mr. Jacobs, being 1.5 million people over the cap now is not in breach of the cap, what figure, according to him, is a breach of the 32 million cap.
