Gerry Horkan: People can then start bringing 250 ml or whatever they want through in their hand luggage and there will be no issue with that.

Gerry Horkan: Good. I wish to touch briefly on the flight path. The witnesses said they devolve the responsibility for the flight paths to AirNav and the IAA. Is it the responsibility of DAA or of AirNav? The plane takes off the runway. The runway is the DAA’s. The plane takes off and the aircraft is now in the air. Is it still the DAA’s aircraft? Is it AirNav’s aircraft? Does...

Gerry Horkan: These flight paths are flying over areas that were never intended to be flown over. Why is that the case?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: So why do we keep getting piles of emails telling us people who never expected to be flown over are being flown over?

Gerry Horkan: Finally, the witnesses may have heard that Michael O’Leary was kind of saying last week that they can open carparks or fields, they can put down a bit of gravel and they can do anything they like because those are temporary. Regarding car parking, can the witnesses give us an idea of how bad or tight it may be? Clearly, it is not as expensive as people may think - or people are...

Gerry Horkan: What was that percentage two years ago?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: I thank the witnesses for that. I could go on, but I will not. I will give time to other people.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: My thanks to Mr. Jacobs and Deputy Farrell. I now bring in Deputy Smith.

Gerry Horkan: A vote has been called in the Seanad. I will ask some brief questions and then ask someone to take the Chair. It has been mentioned that many other airports do not have passenger caps. Why are we moving to a cap of 40 million? Why are we moving to any cap?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: Did the DAA apply for a passenger cap?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: Where has the 40 million figure come from?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: This is my point. If there were no passenger cap the DAA could probably operate the current building and current terminals, perhaps extending the hours a little closer to midnight and moving some of what is at the peak. There are downtimes in the afternoons. The airport could probably operate to 37 million or 38 million passengers today.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: Mr. Jacobs is saying there is a 40 million cap. Where has this figure come from? Did the DAA write it into documentation?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: Why are we all talking about 40 million then?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: I want Shannon Airport and Cork Airport to grow. I do not particularly want every person in Ireland flying through Dublin Airport. If half of them were not there it would make my experience a more pleasant one when I am going through Dublin Airport. I am concerned about the DAA seeking a 40 million passenger cap because, by the time it gets it and plans and builds the infrastructure, the...

Gerry Horkan: Planning is a long piece of string. When does the DAA expect Fingal County Council to say "Yea" or "Nay" so it can start to put measures in place? Fingal County Council granting the planning application does not mean Dublin Airport can operate to 37 million or 38 million passengers and the cap is gone. It will only be when the DAA builds all of this infrastructure in theory.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: The minute Fingal County Council states that it has given the DAA planning permission to do more, it will be able to start operating to 35 million or 36 million passengers on the basis of the existing building. When does the DAA think it will get planning permission from Fingal County Council?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
Gerry Horkan: Michael O'Leary seemed to say that the environmental scheme discourages him from using 737 MAX aeroplanes rather than existing planes. Why would he say that? Surely the 737 MAX is more environmentally friendly than the previous model. Does the scheme not incentivise him to use the 737 MAX here?

Gerry Horkan: Mr. Jacobs thinks it does, but Mr. O'Leary does not think it does. Why does he disagree with Mr. Jacobs' opinion?
