Chief executive of Ryanair Group Michael O’Leary has said incentives for airlines to move flights to Cork won’t have an impact on passengers coming to Dublin Airport as other airlines will just fill the available slot.

Dublin Airport is currently limited to 32 million passengers a year under its 2007 planning permission granted by Fingal County Council. Daa has a planning application before the council which could allow it to increase its capacity limit to 40 million.
