In recent weeks, there has been a clamour to lift the passenger cap at Dublin Airport to enable further untrammelled growth. That clamour is coming from the DAA and the airlines, including Mr. Michael O'Leary of Ryanair, who has said that the DAA should just ignore the cap. The Taoiseach, of course, has backed them up. Does the Minister support Fine Gael and Ryanair, which want to lift the cap, or his Green Party colleagues, like Mr. Ciarán Cuffe, MEP, who has rightly questioned the wisdom of doing this during the climate crisis?
