Was there any controversy about the move from an Irish-language name to an English-language one? Loganberry (Talk) 02:03, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe so, many state companies now are prescribed English and Irish names and tend to use the commerically most attractive rather than patriotism which was in fashion (and a false style is also recently coming to the fore in society generally).

Off the point Aer Rianta was a classic state enterprise - was it the best of centralised state thinking (e.g. giving ireland three strategic international airports when we had little infrastructure or money) or a monolith for interest groups (e.g. civil servants and employees who attempted to control it at the disadvantage of the travelling public)? That controversy, if anything, will be the history of the authority. Djegan 16:33, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Took out the bit about "Aer Rianta Limited" - did a CRO search to confirm no such company is currently registered in Ireland - the State Airports Act prescribes Dublin Airport Authority plc as the ultimate parent company and Aer Rianta International cpt is a subsidary which for the moment has kept the Aer Rianta name. --Rdd 19:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DAA or daa

The official name for the company is daa plc, which was changed from DAA plc in 2014 source. While DAA is mentioned throughout wikipedia and daa has been reverted back to DAA, since 2014 the official name for the company is daa. It has been mentioned that in MOS:TM Using all-caps is preferred if the letters are pronounced individually, even if they don't (or no longer) stand for anything. but also mentions: Using all-lowercase letters may likewise be acceptable if it is done universally by sources.

While all sources have DAA since that was the official name for the company (2004-2014), for the past 2 years the name is now daa, and all sources should be updated? ~ Ablaze (talk) 13:40, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As far as can see, all independent reliable sources since then still use DAA. All the independent sources from 2015/16 referred to in this article and Dublin Airport - [1][2][3][4][5] - use "DAA". I can't find any using "daa". And even if they did, there's still the MOS policy. — Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 14:02, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are sources that use daa including RTÉand others.[6][7][8] The fact that there is a decade of publications that use DAA to stand for the Dublin Airport Authority change doesn't come easy. The company changed its name in 2014. Read name change here. Most sources and publication will continue to incorrectly refer to the daa as the Dublin Airport Authority or DAA when the organisation changed its name to reflects the Group’s business focus and ethos. Does this mean Wikipedia should also be one of these places and not strive to show the correct name for the company?

On reading the name change press release I also propose to move the page to daa for its current page. As for the MOS policy, it clearly states: 'Using all-lowercase letters may likewise be acceptable if it is done universally by sources. The primary source, the actual company should be taken into account and their desire for a name change should be reflected with the article. ~ Ablaze (talk) 16:31, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, the company's wishes are irrelevant. See MOS:TM. The policy you quote says "Using all-lowercase letters may likewise be acceptable if it is done universally by sources" (my bolding). As is obvious, it is not done universally, and even if it was it only may be acceptable subject to other considerations. — Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 17:01, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see also that two of the sources you quote use "DAA" in the headlines, while another uses "Daa" in the text. And RTE seem to have settled on DAA now: [9] — Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 17:39, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DAA (Irish company) → daa plc – The official name of the company is daa plc (in lowercase letters) and there is no other daa plc so this is unlikely to cause confusion. Mind the gap 1 (talk) 22:46, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per MOS:TMCAPS. 162 etc. (talk) 02:35, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per 162 and also WP:NCCORP. I skimmed a few of the (independent) sources, and all the ones I checked refer to the company as "DAA" – not lowercase, not with "plc". jlwoodwa (talk) 03:44, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per above. However, wouldn't DAA (company) be fine? There doesn't seem to be another company with this name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:15, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you all for your comments, I'm somewhat new to renaming articles. Would DAA plc or DAA (company) be better? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mind the gap 1 (talk • contribs) 15:45, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it should be DAA (company) since one of the opposers mentioned that when they skimmed though independent sources that none of them used pic when identifying the company.--67.70.103.133 (talk) 00:21, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
