Calls for passenger cap to be lifted at Dublin Airport

There's a call on the new government to lift the passenger cap at Dublin Airport.

The Coach Tourism and Transport Council of Ireland is making the call, claiming the country's ability to attract international visitors is in jeopardy.

It claims the cap leaves rural businesses and communities vulnerable to reduced tourist numbers.

The Coach Tourism and Transport Council of Ireland's Mike Buckley, says it'll hit coach tourism hard in rural areas.
