Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA

1:10 pm

Mr. Kenny Jacobs:

My understanding is it is with anybody, not just us. If we were doing it, obviously we would follow the law. The law, as determined by the CCPC, is we cannot own it. We are saying that we do not want to own it anymore. We think that was the wrong decision. We just wanted to operate it for two months to provide passengers with more choice and take away that anxiety about car parking. However, ultimately, it is now up to the vendor to see what it does next. I know it is still actively looking to sell it. I hope it does so, because there is nothing worse than hearing about people being anxious about car parking and then seeing a tumbleweed going across 6,000 spaces in the best carpark in the whole campus. We just wanted to operate for the summer but we will now move on and just run the 20,000 spaces we have.
