Irish Aviation Authority: Engagement

Does the authority have any concern about that concentration in a single airport in the context of an adverse event like a weather disruption, a cyberattack or an operational failure? I am reminded of the recent critical incident at Heathrow Airport or the critical failure at Holyhead last December. They underscore the dangers inherent in having all the capacity concentrated at a single airport. Is it not a failure of national aviation policy over the last ten years?
