The DAA has also announced the first five preferred bidders for T2’s retail outlets, which includes WHSmith, Azure and Swatch.

A further 25 operators will join these retailers when the terminal opens in November.

"Retail is an integral element of the modern airport experience and Terminal Two will offer passengers a comprehensive choice of outlets," said Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) Retail Director Paul Neeson.

"Despite the downturn, there has been huge interest in T2’s retail space and we are delighted to have secured an impressive portfolio of Irish and international retailers."
