Darragh O'Brien: “we will assess how it works, and look at it again”

Purchasing this key strategic site by agreement ensures that the risk of delays and increased costs arising from the Compulsory Purchase Order process are significantly reduced.

We're going to invest about €45m this year in new charging points this year alone, which will see a 30% improvement in the EV charging infrastructure that's around the country.

Mr O'Brien said the airport is of "strategic importance" with over 36 million passengers passing through last year.

I accept fully, that many people driving older cars like that are doing it because they can't afford to change their car. This will help.
