Why would DAA not have waited for the national aviation policy review to take place? Last week we heard from Michael O'Leary that DAA had been to the Minister and is awaiting a decision from him. His own political future has rather changed in the past 24 hours. If all of that is happening, why go in quickly? As a semi-State body, why would DAA go in ahead of the State with an application?
