- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: This happens in normal life. People will get sick. Does DAA have a contingency built into its numbers that caters for that eventuality?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: The DAA has a very stretched and tired workforce that have been working long hours. At this point, has it made use of all available staff? Are the 40 workers who are in place all who will be available? Has the authority gone to the well in that regard?

Kieran O'Donnell: Obviously, however, if the question arises, it will have had to come from a request from the DAA. The question is whether the authority is at that point.
