"Mr Jacobs remains in place as DAA chief executive despite what are understood to be internal tensions. But well-informed sources said the former Ryanair executive is mulling over his future in light of what appears to be an impasse between his management and a significant number of board members over issues, including the airport's difficulties in removing planning restrictions that keep a lid on growth, but also Mr Jacobs' management style."
"The CEO has faced complaints from staff, which are understood to have prompted an internal review, according to sources. No complaints were upheld and no complaint process is underway, said the sources. Mr Jacobs told the Sunday Independent in a recent interview that he had brought a "take-no-shit" attitude from his time in Ryanair. In that interview he addressed the sometimes stormy relationship that the airport authority had with Fingal County Council."
Dublin Airport's semi-state operator has been affected by internal tensions at board level and significant planning problems constraining growth. Transport Department officials declined to comment on ministerial intervention, saying operations within state companies are matters for their boards, and declined to confirm engagement with CEO Paul Jacobs or DAA chair Basil Geoghegan. Jacobs remains in post but is reportedly considering his future amid an impasse with multiple board members over planning restrictions and his management style. An internal review followed staff complaints; no complaints were upheld and no complaint process is underway. Jacobs said he brought a "take-no-shit" attitude from his time at Ryanair.
