The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has issued a preliminary assessment to the DAA and developer Gerry Gannon, who plans to sell the former Quickpark car park to the airport authority, releasing 6,122 further car park spaces for use by passengers.
The DAA will respond to the CCPC’s preliminary view and emphasize its commitment to serving Dublin Airport passengers by keeping the site as a car park.
The CCPC expects a full investigation into the DAA’s proposed purchase to be completed by March, with the decision published on its website afterwards. A further delay could mean that Quickpark’s 6,122 spaces may not be ready in time for summer 2024 season.
The CCPC has expressed concerns over the DAA’s proposed purchase of the 41-acre car park near Dublin Airport, citing potential reduced competition in public car parking provision in the area.
During the investigation, the CCPC received multiple third-party submissions from the public, car-parking industry stakeholders, and entities involved in the public bidding process for the car park.
