Dublin’s Terminal 2 cladding ‘safe’ after review

The State-owned Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) has said the prestigious Terminal 2 built less than seven years ago is safe, following a review of the aluminium cladding and polyethylene composite tiles on the building’s exterior.

The authority said “as a courtesy” the Dublin Fire Brigade was made aware recently of the existence of the aluminium rain screen panels as part of the terminal’s cladding.

The Irish Examiner had asked questions of the DAA in recent weeks about the type and the materials used in the core of the cladding at Terminal 2.
