Dublin Airport is edging ever closer to the 30 million passenger mark. In July, a record 3.12 million people travelled through there, while a total of 16.9 million used it in the first seven months of this year.
That figure does not include a busy August weekend. Along with that, there is still a month of the peak holiday season left. The likelihood is that in a few weeks time Dublin will be reporting that it handled around 20 million people in the first eight months of 2017.
