I understand the job Mr. Jacobs has to do. He has to run Dublin Airport and Cork Airport. He is here to speak for them. However, when he speaks about sustainability, is it not a bit incongruent, perhaps disingenuous, to talk about sustainability at a time when it is unsustainable to have all these flights coming out of Dublin without adding an extra brick, pane of glass or iron reinforcement rod in Shannon Airport? It could double its capacity. Cork Airport also says it can take more. Why would we invest everything in one airport to the detriment of others?
