They are €40 per day in the short-term car park - that is a capped price - and €16.50 per day in the express red and €14 per day in the holiday blue car parks. From a consumer point of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I understand the job Mr. Jacobs has to do. He has to run Dublin Airport and Cork Airport. He is here to speak for them. However, when he speaks about sustainability, is it not a bit incongruent, perhaps disingenuous, to talk about sustainability at a time when it is unsustainable to have all these flights coming out of Dublin without adding an extra brick, pane of glass or iron...

It has been a wonderful home to almost 200 Ukrainian refugees for the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (12 Jun 2024)

Cathal Crowe: The enactment of Rishi Sunak's Rwanda Bill has put huge pressure on counties in the Border area. It has added to fear and anxiety for the migrant community.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I welcome our guests from Ryanair and congratulate them on the onward and upward growth of their company. I want to home in on just a few points. First, regarding the planning cap, we are aware of other European countries where there are environmental noise output caps. Is the planning cap on passenger numbers unique to Ireland? Has Ryanair encountered this in any other countries? Has it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)

Cathal Crowe: There is merit to the two legislative proposals the representatives are suggesting. I am also conscious that the last time the Dublin Airport Authority was before the committee it had been lodging planning that week. It then advised us that it could take a minimum of two years for that to go through the whole process. This is because there is inevitably going to be an appeal to An Bord...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)

Cathal Crowe: On the last day when Dublin Airport Authority was before the committee I was quite critical of its approach. I feel - and I am sure the representatives will disagree with me - that it has gotten the ahead of the Government on this. This is because a national aviation strategy policy review is due to happen this year. It came in with planning permission. It is a semi-State. It has...
