DAA has been prevented from acquiring additional parking spaces while other options have been frustrated by planning policy
parking slots are booking out faster than in previous years as management struggles to find sufficient capacity in advance of the busy summer holiday season.
“It’s going to be another busy summer, we are already seeing some days in June, July, August that are already selling out,” said DAA spokesman Graeme McQueen.I took the ‘easy way out’ and gave birth by Caesarean. And yes, it was easierThere are about 23,000 spaces at the country’s largest airport but some July dates are very close to selling out, potentially making it difficult for people to book longer holiday slots.
The Fingal Development Plan, DAA says, prevents it from opening up lands on the campus to further parking, or from renting other space. An objective of the plan sets out a need to “control the supply of car parking at the airport so as to maximise as far as is practical the use of public transport and sustainable transport modes” such as walking and cycling by workers and passengers.
