It must be quite a surreal experience to be an arriving passenger at T2. As you exit the airport building, you see an almost empty bus parking area and 20 taxis obviously parked up in the 'set down only' area. But you ignore them and follow the signs to the taxi rank.
As you wait to cross the road, you see dozens of empty taxis drive by you towards the exit. You also notice another 30 or 40 taxis parked up in Area 18. But you ignore them and finally arrive at the taxi rank to see about 50 people in front of you.
You're confused for a moment but then 3 or 4 taxis pop up over the horizon and dash towards the rank. Then nothing for a another few minutes until another 3 or 4 taxis pop up over the horizon. Then despair overtakes you as you tap the person in front of you in the queue and ask, 'This IS Ireland, right? A first world country?"
