DAA has failed in its bid for permission to demolish the spiral ramps at Terminal 1 of Dublin Airport, as the planning board said their brutalist design is of “technical and architectural merit.”
An Coimisiún Pleanála refused the appeal to demolish the ramps, which DAA said are no longer in use and not required for airport operations.
