Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

While it may be a single sentence section, the charge at Shannon has gone from €1.50 to €10.50 per passenger. What are the fees for clearance at, say, JFK Airport in New York? While I accept it must be economic for the DAA to get a return on the moneys invested in the facilities, the charges cannot be so high that they turn people off going through Shannon or Dublin Airports.
