Surely there is more than one lounge in T2?
We had discussions here about new entrants which was nice to ponder yet when you consider how fragmented existing ones seem to have become one has to ask themselves is there any hope. Star Alliance attraction is that they adapt airports so that they house all their member airlines in one terminal, under one roof. What's gone wrong? Is there any one there with long or short term vision and planning that will actually benefit DUB?

October Bank Hoilday Weekend
Over 220.000 passengers to use Dublin airport between today and Monday. Compared to over 250,000 passengers in October 2009.
It's a sharp drop on 2009

A project such as T2 should properly be designed to last for 30 years or more. If it were full "anytime soon" or even in the next 10 years, then it would be a failure and the designers and planners would rightly be condemned for their lack of foresight. I think we should be pleased to see it operating at less than design capacity for some time. It is easy to forget that T1 has been operating above its design capacity for most of the past 15 years and even the current reduced traffic is still greater than that which it was intended to accommodate. Short term thinking and a lack of foresight have been the bane of public policy in Ireland for years. The original plans for the M50 were condemned as unnecessarily extravagant and its capacity was reduced accordingly. As soon as it opened it was "full". This did not make it a success.

Sorry, I knew exactly what you meant and my comment was not directed at you but to those who criticise everything and who are already winding themselves up to condemn T2 as soon as it opens. We don't have to look too far so see some examples of this perpetual knocking syndrome.
