The daa has ruled out moving some flights from Dublin Airport to Shannon Airport to deal with security shortages that have cause delays over the past months.
Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast this morning, daa spokesperson Graeme McQueen said "If it was that easy to just pick up flights and take them to the regional airports, I think we would be doing that already."
"The fact is Dublin Airport doesn’t compete with Shannon for flights. We compete with the big cities in Europe - your Barcelona’s, your Amsterdam’s - and that will remain the case."
