If SNN were to be given $1bn to waste of tax payers money like DUB were then I think SNN would make a go of it much better. T2 is a farce, paid by mostly people outside the DUB area.
This discussion is really more appropriate to the SNN thread. However, it is pertinent to point out that DUB gets no taxpayers' money whatsoever. I've explained this in two recent posts. EU State Aid rules would not permit taxpayers money to be put into DUB. daa raises its own finance, and raised its own finance for T2. That's why the runway can't proceed - the cost would have to be met from within daa, and the regulator will not improve any increase in DUB charges to pay for it until DUB pax exceed (I think) 23 million.
