We remain vigilant to any possible disruption to both individual and business passengers and to that end we will also seek in-depth insight into the 15 point plan.

I am pleased that daa are making themselves available to provide this up-date as the holiday season continues. The Committee will seek information on the current position at the airport and any difficulties that are manifesting themselves at this early stage of the summer period. It is important that the Committee and the public generally understand where things stand in this regard so that Dublin airport – a vital part of our national infrastructure – continues to serve the State’s needs.”
