It's possible now in many cities to check in at a rail station and collect your bag at the destination. Join Clongriffin to the airport and forget all the studies that are never ending.

There are a fair number of well-educated people who won't accept anything less than MN/DU, and therefore are opposed to a spur from Clongriffin as it would undermine that.

Additionally the DAA don't want a rail link to the airport as they fear a loss of revenue from car parks at the airport would result.

I think the only solution is move closer to the airport if you're a regular user, as otherwise you're looking at a PITA with no end in sight.
