As the Deputy will be aware, I am in the process of finalising proposals for the provision of additional terminal capacity at Dublin Airport and will be submitting these proposals to Government shortly. New capacity is clearly required to cater for expected growth in passenger numbers at the airport and the issue is how best to provide this capacity. Once the Government makes a decision on the matter, the detailed planning and implementation process will address the issue of the location of the next tranche of terminal capacity and all other relevant operational factors such as general access and the management of traffic, both airside and landside, at the airport.
