The DAA would certainly be more interested in a rail link to the rest of the country than to Dublin. One to Dublin would is just going to take people who were flying out of Dublin from one transport form into another. Only if congestion near the airport got so bad that Dubliners would consider flying from another airport (and the nearest is 2 hours away) would it be a priority.

In terms of taking passengers from other airports, the big prize for them is the 7.7m passengers flying out of Belfast Airport, so they would far prefer to see the Belfast line diverted to operate through the airport.
