Scheme to cost €250m

In their new submission, the group states that “spending €250 million on a project for just four vehicles per hour is illogical” and a total waste of money.

Ray Ryan of BMA Planning said that the operator is targeting 40 million passengers annually but by their own admission, the proposed development would not deliver any increase in passenger numbers or operational capacity at Dublin “which poses questions around its justification from a cost benefit perspective”.

A DAA spokesman said on Monday: “The tunnel is required to improve access and safety on the airfield, allowing for the segregation of aircraft and vehicles, and the movement of vehicles to the West Apron, which is now restricted following the opening of the new North Runway on August 24, 2022.
