This. I pick up regularly and I'll use the drop off, but I park up a few mins from airport and wait till people ring me to tell me that they are outside, i head to airport and am in the drop off area no more than 30 sec and then away againThere are always the clowns who ruin everything for everyone else. It should only be a drop off or collection point . Not a wait around until it suits , the clowns.
This is the nub of it. People won't pay for parking. I see it at the Beacon Hospital all the time. Instead of paying for an hour parking, they will park on the road at a very busy junction. Now there are bollards on the cycle lane, they will park inside the bollards, completely blocking off the cycle lane. To save €3.they don't like paying parking fees.
File this with "I only parked on the double yellow for a minute while I popped into the shops".This.

How about having to take a ticket to enter the drop off area? Get out within 15 minutes and it's free, stay longer and it's a tenner!It would help if there was something like a €1.50 price for 15 minutes in the short-term car park .

I think that the 15 mins is good enough because most people only want to pick up or drop off someone . Most people would be gone within the 15 mins anyway.. And 20 euro after that though..That is a brilliant idea.
But limit it to 5 minutes and charge €20 for more than that.

That's a very tight timescale in a busy area likely to have queues on exit. I'd fear it would incentivise drivers to speed and barge all comers out of the way.That is a brilliant idea.

most people only want to pick up
As regards the pick up ...if , like someone said earlier, be close by , get the call that people are ready to be picked up then go , pick up and get out of there .
Simple process and no need for any charges in this respect.. and no traffic problems..
