Gerry Horkan: Is that the 250 pages?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I will touch on resilience. Is Mr. Jacobs comfortable that the resilience levels, not only for security, but also for toilets, rubbish bins being emptied and all of the cleanliness factors, are building back up? I accept that terminal 1 is an old building, but many old buildings have been refurbished. Is the plan to refurbish terminal 1 or to knock bits of it down and replace them?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I accept that terminal 1 is a 50-year-old building. However, I remember when I was a child that the B gates, as they were known at the time, were the only ones open most of the time. The A gates were resurrected perhaps for a few weeks in the summer. We have all of that now as well as pier D, which is a huge addition, yet passengers still come in the same front door and go through the same...

Gerry Horkan: I remember it being attacked as being unnecessary when it was being built, like terminal 2.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: But additional terminals or add-ons to T1 and T2 would be needed.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: Mr. Harrison would see those as further extensions to T1 and T2 as opposed to a third terminal, or does he see a need for a third terminal?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I am not necessarily referring to, for example, a third terminal on the far side of a runway that would be independently owned or operated like-----.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: -----for example, T4 and T5 at Heathrow Airport, which are located miles away from everywhere else. I am just asking, if Mr. Harrison would have a third terminal or would he just opt for lots of add-ons to T1 and T2?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: Of T1 and T2. Okay. That has addressed many of the issues. In terms of BusConnects is the DAA pursuing both taxis and the provision of more 24-hour services by CIÉ, Dublin Bus and other operators. Am I correct in stating that the DAA does not have a problem with more people coming to the airport by those mean, particularly as it might have an impact on revenues relating to car...

Gerry Horkan: Three in four.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I thank Mr. Harrison. Does Deputy Ó Murchú like to come in very briefly for two or three minutes?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: It is hard to be good in two minutes as opposed to 20.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: Deputy Ó Murchú can ask me rather than ask the witnesses because he can see that I am a people person.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: Did Deputy Ó Murchú welcome him officially?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I would not expect Mr. Jacobs to be. I would have been utterly shocked if he were.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: The committee can bring representatives from Bus Éireann back in again soon and the Deputy can quiz them on that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: Here we are three hours later. The witnesses thought they were nearly out the door earlier. I wish Mr. Jacobs the very best of luck in his new role and in dealing with his largest customer, namely, his former employer. I am sure he knows its way of operating particularly well. I thank Ms Gubbins and Mr. Harrison for their contributions. It is clear that all the witnesses have an...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I am delighted to congratulate and address the Cathaoirleach, whom we called the Leader in a previous Seanad. I wish him the best. This is my first chance to do so since his elevation to high office. I also congratulate Senator Chambers on her appointment as Leader and thank Senators Mark Daly and Regina Doherty who previously held leadership positions for their work. The following point...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I certainly agree with the Order of Business. I was slightly amused to read Mr. Pat Leahy's column in The Irish Timesthis morning in which he referred to what is happening in the Dáil, Seanad and committees. Mr. Leahy notes: "Just three items on the Seanad agenda". He seems to be referring to all of Tuesday's business, so people looking in today for a debate on the National Concert...
