    I'm sure it was at one stage, but I'm happy enough to be proven wrong...

    My father drove us up into this when it was open - it led to a car park, and I think it was built in the 70s. It wasn't open for very long.

    When I worked in Dublin airport (about 6 years ago) it was the entrance to a staff car park and the stores for some of the shops in the airport. I was told it was the original multi storey for the airport when the airport was built but obviously the number of cars became too much for it so it became "staff only" space.

    Any chance we can get a few more posts confirming whats already been confirmed :rolleyes:

    The airport always had plenty of surface car parking across from the arrivals road when the terminal was built originally. Those were the days when the church was in the middle of nowhere on it's on internal road, ah bless.

    Reading the thread, I worked for a time at the airport and I'd always been told the same story re fear of bombing and never then used for what was originally intended.

    Yes, in great detail on this thread. To summarise:

    It is access to staff car parking; it was originally public parking, but after the airport was bombed (not a risk of bombing, it was bombed and one person died) it was closed to the public. Most of the parking decks have been converted to other uses but some spaces remain for senior staff.

    It was never a taxi queue.

    My half remembered visit with my father would have been pre-1975.
