Ryanair submits objection to airport terminal plans

Ryanair has submitted an objection to Fingal County Council against the Dublin Airport Authority's plans for a second passenger terminal.

The airline claims the DAA's plans are badly designed and overpriced and will result in tax increases for passengers.

It is proposing that it build the terminal itself in a different location and at a third of the price put forward by the airport authority.

Ryanair claims it can construct the facility for €250m, with a greater passenger capacity than that proposed by the DAA.
