DAA parking charges

Sir, – Following on the observations that Dublin Airport parking charges have increased by more than 100 per cent over the past year (News, April 25th), I noted with interest that the reasoning for this, as outlined by the DAA spokesperson, was due to "a dynamic pricing model which is influenced by factors such as demand [and] time of year".

That spokesperson could have saved themselves the energy required to articulate such verbal nonsense by using just the one word which I believe is the cause of the price increases: “greed”.

Plain and simple. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – DAA explains the large increase in parking charges by reference to increased demand. Of course higher demand enables higher prices but, as with property rental, it does not force it.

That is entirely a choice made by DAA. – Yours, etc,
