The chickens have come home to roost, but unfortunately, it's unlikely any heads will roll, as DAA is a semi state organisation, so firing someone for poor performance would be a total culture shock to the entire civil service and semi state structure, so it's not going to happen.
The entire security system at DUB has ground to a halt, as a result of "enhanced" security due to the failure of the audit last weekend.
The worrying thing is that we're nowhere near peak volumes yet, the summer hasn't even started to kick in yet, and passengers were taking up to 2 HOURS today to get through the security scan.
Only passengers were being allowed into the departure area today due to congestion and overcrowding, and a spokesman for DAA admitted on this evening's news that the problems will continue "for some time, especially at peak periods".
The most worrying aspect is that DAA are trying to suggest that if a passenger misses their flight due to DAA's delaying them, it is not DAA's responsibility!!!!!
It looks to me like a massive kick up the a
e of the management of DAA is called for, along with an urgent review of the contracts of the senior managers, who should be taken to court for their manifest and total failure to provide adequete and appropriate facilities to process the traffic that is booked.
