I want Shannon Airport and Cork Airport to grow. I do not particularly want every person in Ireland flying through Dublin Airport. If half of them were not there it would make my experience a more pleasant one when I am going through Dublin Airport. I am concerned about the DAA seeking a 40 million passenger cap because, by the time it gets it and plans and builds the infrastructure, the number will be at 40 million. It will then have to go back and ask for a cap of 60 million passengers and will be left wondering why it did not ask for that in the first place. Why ask for a cap of 60 million passengers? Why not just not have a cap?
