Calls for second terminal in airport plan

THE new board of the Dublin Airport Authority has been asked by Transport Minister Séamus Brennan to consider incorporating a second independent terminal at the airport into its business plan.

Mr Brennan said a Government decision to proceed with a new terminal was “some months off,” but he expected the board to give the proposal its backing.

He said the new terminal was vital to deal with the congestion at the existing site and to deal with the forecast expansion of the airport with millions of new passengers expected to pass through Dublin every year.
