Irish Examiner View: Curb your enthusiasm for lack of Dublin Airport drop-off charges

Drop-off charges at UK airports (up to €10 for 15 minutes) are hugely unpopular.

We can give one cheer for the denial from daa (formerly the Dublin Airport Authority) that it does not want to introduce drop-off/pick-up charges for people taking friends and relatives for their flights and stopping in their cars for a couple of minutes. 

And then curb our enthusiasm when we see that the official statement says it has no “current” plans.
