Green TD expresses concern over potential plans to build third terminal at Dublin Airport

Three 260-acre plots in the centre of the airport grounds are up for sale, which have been long-speculated as the preferred location for a new terminal

A Green Party TD has expressed concern about the prospect of Dublin Airport buying a 260-acre site to build a third airport terminal.

The McEvaddy brothers, Ulick and Des, McEvaddy along with Seán Fox, and Brendan and Orla O’Donoghue are putting up for sale three connecting lots covering 260 acres in the centre of the airport grounds.

The grounds, located between the two main parallel runways, has been long-speculated as the preferred location for an independent third terminal and the decision to sell the land presents a strategic and financial challenge to the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA).
