    No it is not. as all the preparation has already been done and infrastructure is in place. That extension should not be an 8 figure build project.

    And your proof for this is?

    These are used for Stobart flights during busy periods I thought? You can see them from the airside (departures) link corridor

    The new spaces are coming in cheaper than the previous spaces, possibly because of the earlier work. Also how have they been misinterpreted?

    You seem to be the one misinterpreting everything quoted in order to suit your agenda. I'm not quite sure what your issue with all of this is, even if the daa got a raw deal it's their money at the end of the day.

    They spend their money and plan on getting it back through charging their customers to use the facility - what is there to think about - it is the same as every business out there.

    They're a semi state in name only, they finance projects themselves and even pay the government a dividend. If they deem the project will be profitable then they go build it, they're not frittering away taxpayers money on it.

    Whose money is it then? It's a semi state company.

    When did they pay to privatise this piece of national infrastructure? The dividends they pay to the people of Ireland are derisory.

    Whatever they pay or don't pay, they contribute over 5 billion to the economy by giving tourists a gateway to Ireland. Then there is also the 30,000+ jobs in the area.

    There should be 30 to 35 million coming in.
    If they aren't delivering dividend then they should be delivering more business and holiday visitors to Ireland.

    if they were any good they'd have got enough visitors coming through to build the runways and terminals years before.

    What justification do you have for these figures?

    18monthslave, your last 2 posts prove that you are just here to wind people up. You obviously have some axe to grind with DAA and are pulling figures from thin air. Why 30-35 million, and please could you explain your English language theory in more detail? If ALmost everyone in Europe speaks English then surely it makes no difference what country they visit as people in that country will have English too.

    Saw this on twitter. Pic of queues yesterday for passport control

    Why can't they get a grip on this? This is the first impression people get of Ireland. It's disgraceful.

    I've never seen anything like that. I presume something happened to create a situation like that?

    That's not even funny, EU passengers should be flying through but they only ever have 2-3 booths open. Airlines should slaughter them for it and put real pressure on them to get more booths open more often.

    That queue must be well over an hour long, I came back from London last September and the queue was three quarters of the length of the snaked area and it took 30mins alone from there.

    That's absolutely terrible, did the DAA learn nothing from the UK Border Force delays up until recently?

    That is one of the joys of flying with airlines that use the 3XX gates - passport queues are non-existent!

    DAA have little or no input into passport control.

    Understand it's under the remit of the INIS, didn't the DAA have a major push for civil servants to run passport control (INIS instead of GNIB) to avoid these sort of issues? What's gone on? :confused:

    The civilianisation process is underway, but is not due for completion until the end of the year.

    The process had nothing to do with the DAA, but rather the Department of Justice and INIS/GNIB.
