DUB Pier D...muahaha! The FR gates! I was wondering how long it would take before someone nominated that migration. Now that's a hike...all the way to the end of the terminal, then across the "Exile Bridge" which itself seems long, then all the way to the end of D...

This location no doubt is collateral from MOL's ongoing war with Aer Rianta and Irish transport ministers.
