Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Members discussed this issue at some length previously. The purpose of the text in question is to rename the Dublin Airport Authority as "DAA", because it is not just Dublin, it does not simply pertain to airports and is not an authority. Consequently, the name is inappropriate and I wish to change the name to "DAA" instead of the Dublin Airport Authority. The reason DAA was chosen rather than an entirely new name simply was to avoid being obliged to incur expensive rebranding costs. It is somewhat like companies such as CRH, IBM or KPMG, in that those initials used to stand for something but no longer do.
