Cork Airport sees passenger rise; Dublin's 32 million cap limits growth, impacting economy.

Cork Airport saw a 7% rise in passengers in January 2025, contrasting with Dublin Airport's 1% drop due to a 32 million passenger cap. Without the cap, up to 200,000 more passengers could have traveled through Dublin, benefiting tourism and the economy. The cap is affecting job and economic growth, especially in winter months, prompting calls for its removal to boost Ireland's economy and support infrastructure development.
