Very supportive of Garda / Immigration, not an Aer Lingus issue and highlights issue which posted about a couple of days ago about Immigration booths in T1.

The 2.4 billion Metro North Project which is scheduled to start construction in 2021 (2026/7 completion) may be brought forward with construction starting in 2019 under new capital plans. Unlikely to get to a definite decision until June/July.
It's been 12 years since MN and MW were both first announced.....so take the current and new dates with a big "maybe". There does however appear more political will now than ever for it.

Is it true that a metro station was built under T1 in the 70s in anticipation of this? I know it sounds like a ridiculous rumour but I've heard it from more than one person who works in the airport? Supposedly directly beneath the disused spiral car parks between T1 and T2?
Now the suitability for a Metro is questionable......

The story I've heard is that they were for an internal airport shuttle (like what links T5 in Heathrow to the remote piers). Needless to say this was never built.

Vegas is best to make a return with spare winter capacity, YUL would be sunmer seasonal and DFW possibly as well.

Most don't go for the climate, could be year round as well.

I can't imagine too many Business Class tickets to Las Vegas. Would it be a similar offering to Orlando? DFW would seem to have an advantage in this regard.
If they are going to start looking at long-haul leisure destinations, has anywhere in the Caribbean ever been considered?

EI will have to be more competitive on their fares. A recent flight from SFO / DUB only had about 60 PAX. Doesn't seem like a successful entry to a new market. There is a price tipping point for individuals / families that make going via FRA, LHR, AMS, CDG or with the likes of WOW more attractive Testing the market for DUB- LAS will indeed need some competitive pricing.
