Dublin Airport Authority plc (DAA) (Irish: Údaras Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath cpt) is the state-owned airport authority in Ireland. With a head office on the grounds of Dublin Airport in Fingal, County Dublin, the authority also owned the Great Southern Hotels which had nine sites throughout the island of Ireland (until its sale in 2006) and international investments are held by Aer Rianta International. The authority runs Dublin Airport and controls the Cork Airport Authority and the Shannon Airport Authority which are responsible for Cork Airport and Shannon Airport.
Famous quotes containing the words airport and/or authority:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“Authority poisons everybody who takes authority on himself.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
