Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

My understanding is that the Department of Transport is aware that Dublin Airport is facing significant car parking challenges on foot of the temporary closure of a privately owned long-stay car park, QuickPark, and that there is potential for that to have a very significant impact on passengers over the coming summer peak period. The numbers travelling overseas for holidays and various other activities are back to what they were prior to Covid, so there is a very buoyant situation in aviation again. It has been restored very quickly, perhaps not in line with projections from the industry. Originally, industry felt there would be a much longer bounce back in aviation, but it has been much more rapid, and that is clearly creating huge challenges. I will raise the issue the Deputy raised with the Minister.
