Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair

Mr. Michael O'Leary:

Yes. One would be to query what is the health and safety issue concerning parcels going across the taxiway. A second would be why the DAA has not spent this winter and the last 12 months opening more temporary car-parking space, especially to relieve the pressure in this regard during the peak summer months. The third would be to ask why the DAA does not have an environmental incentive to encourage airlines to use quieter and more fuel-efficient aircraft and why the IAA has said the DAA's environmental incentive scheme is not fit for purpose and that it should go back and revise it.
