Second terminal for Dublin Airport to get green light

THE Government is set to give the go-ahead to the building of a second terminal at Dublin Airport before the summer.

But the independent terminal will actually result in an increase in charges at the airport, in spite of the introduction of competition to Aer Rianta, according to an expert report.

Transport Minister Seamus Brennan will bring forward definite proposals to the cabinet in April or May following the completion of a consultants report supporting the proposed new privately operated terminal.
