DAA's attitude to Cork
Also an indication of the DAA's attitude to Cork are the magnificant airbridges at terminal 2 in Dublin many of which proudly carry Aerlingus' name on them. This is the same Aerlingus that told the DAA that they didn't require the use of airbridges at Cork as they delayed the turnaround times. With Ryanair also not interested it gave the DAA the perfect excuse to cancel the plan to put 4 airbridges in the new terminal. As a result passengers of all ages have to carry their bags up
two flights of stairs to the arrivals hall. To be fair to Ryanair at least they are consistant with their no airbridge policy.
