Most Irish people coming home this Christmas will be forced to travel by boat due to the Dublin Airport passenger cap - Michael O'Leary.
“We're going back to the future again. You'll all be back on the boats because Eamon Ryan won't issue a letter to the IAA.”The vast majority of Irish people coming home this Christmas will be forced to travel by boat due to the Dublin Airport passenger cap , Michael O’ Leary has warned.
He said Minister James Lawless failed to offer any creative solutions during their meeting – and again urged the Government to step in and direct the IAA to ignore the cap while a planning proposal aimed at increasing it is considered.He said he handed the junior minister a draft letter to send to the IAA but added:"We believe he will do nothing about it, just as Eamon Ryan has done nothing about it”.
