believe the answer to that is Bewleys or any of the other airport hotels on site. Nobody has forced people to overnight in a terminal
Well that's a rather simplisttic view, do you work on the airport board?
There are many arrivals by public transport 10/11pm, who need to check in at 4am. Would you fork out the airport hotel rates for just a few hours rest?
It should not be beyond the airports ability to provided restful seating for these people, like they do in many airports around the world.
Making the airport more difficult to use will just put people off & send them elsewhere.
Security queue lines, switching travelators off, obstacle course routes to terminals, lack of adequate seating etc etc these will all contribute to loss of pax unless they are thought through properly & perhaps consult people who work & know the aiport, rather than bean counters who decide these things remotely from the real world.
