He has come up to the Dáil today to get a flavour of what life is like here. He has just seen a good ding-dong debate so he has seen a bit of action anyway.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Chair and thank Mr. Jacobs for coming to the committee. I will ask him the obvious question straight off. Are his figures based on the calendar year, 1 January to 31 December?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Okay. I want to home in because we are very close to the Christmas season. I note from the DAA's figures from last year that from 17 December through to 4 January, an average of 45,000 passengers went through the airport per day. Pre-Covid that figure was 77,000, with 1.3 million people transiting the airport in that two-and-a-half-week window. We are in the bounce-back period. Will the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: On the dialogue the authority has with the airlines, Mr. Jacobs said two things that are contradictory. One was in his written submission and one was not. He said sometimes he has to tell airlines they may have to look at Cork or Shannon. He then said that the airlines themselves make that decision. Is the DAA playing God to a point in deciding where airlines should go?
