Mr. Kenny Jacobs:

No, in fact the opposite is the case; I wish we had done it sooner. Based on the annual passenger numbers at Dublin, we should have submitted a planning application years ago. Waiting for the national aviation policy would mean that we would be turning away connectivity, turning away demand and costing jobs at Dublin Airport for a number of years. I am very glad that we submitted the infrastructure application in December 2023. If anything, I would have preferred if we had done that sooner.
