Dublin Airport’s north runway is welcome, but it is operating contrary to its planning permission. The flight paths that are being operated are not the ones that were agreed. Houses were insulated to mitigate against the noise of low-flying planes. Incredibly, many of those homes are not now on the flight path, while hundreds of others, as well as schools and businesses which were never insulated, have to live with the noise nuisance of low-flying planes for hours each day. This appears to be a spectacular error by the Dublin Airport Authority, DAA, the IAA, and by Fingal County Council who have responsibility here. What measures is the Government taking to address this? Will the Tánaiste ensure that the DAA is not allowed to operate contrary to its permissions?

I am afraid that I do not have up-to-date information on that issue at present, but I will let the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, know that the Deputy has raised this issue in the Dáil, and I will ask her to come back to him directly.
