Dublin Airport New Runway/Infrastructure.

Just wondering, does anybody know if this new North Dock at Terminal 1 at Dublin airport is actually getting built? Or is this some endless thing?

awaiting planning permission from Fingal County Council since Dec 2023…

ok so the reason you celebrate is growth of revenue. i can see two ways that would be cause to celebrate, 1 would be that you hold a financial interest, or 2 that you celebrate the financial benefit to the greater good, financially.

But im not so sure that more growth would be to the greater financial good (*above what benefits there already are), or at least not as much as would initially appear in any headline. Because an increase in the frequency of aircraft noise could drop the value of property over the vast area of north dublin which they overfly. Thats a lot of property. And as frequent aircraft noise is associated/correlated with a negative affect on health theres another financial negative. A lot of people in the affected areas.

Theres also an opportunity cost in that housing development wont happen in places that become just too loud, no appeal, so no builders and no buyers so we never see that economic revenue.

I dont see anything wrong with being a naysayer, business frequently clashes with the environment, I can show you cases where business has been allowed to have its way freely and left destruction and a financial defecit for the taxpayer in its wake. The greater good is not the reason that cowboy ceos get excited, believe it.

The greater good may not be served by having a 90%+ monopoly in the market, requiring the population outside the pale to go through the shenanigans of getting up to Dublin first, in order to then begin their travels. And if I were a plane nerd I would be very bored by 90% of everything being concentrated into just one big boring overcrowded commerical machine.

33 million passengers is a lot of people, as business grew and grew it naturally became more and more exicted over time 20m 25m, 30m, more more. Theres always another bit you can add on here, another buck to be made there. But at some eventual point it WILL become a net negative to the public, and the breaks have to be applied by govt. (The cries by business of nimbys ruining it are predestined at some point. If not at 20 million then at 200 million).

Thats what Fingal did, and its for the best. Unless you're set to make a killing out of pumping the numbers, getting your bonus and your picture taken, and then leaving the problems behind for the locals.

(re earlier question, i wont be disclosing my location)

In a word; yes.

608 people will have to get over it for the benefit of 32 million people. Or indeed more.

The likes of your thought process is why Ireland is the way it is with planning and why a Metro that was first proposed in 2001 still hasn't broken ground.

Absolutely coddled society trying to rinse the state for whatever they can get.

All valid arguments, but it comes down to simple supply and demand…. Ryanair have been throwing sh*t at the walls for years seeing what sticks route wise at Cork, Shannon, Knock and Kerry… and they never get the numbers… hence why Dublin gets majority of routes….

Likewise with freight, if there was a need for it to be west coast, it would fly into Shannon already.

What you're suggestion stops any growth for the whole of Ireland, just because you don't like the fact Dublin and the East coast are the economical and population hubs of the state.

Yawn. NIMBY is your only argument. You never actually cover any of the issues like noise pollution or over expansion because it doesn't suit your narrative. Why don't you take it elsewhere instead of attacking the poster?

800, then 900. sure 1000. 1200.

30 million, 40, 50. sure its only some northsiders.

Courts reject Ryanair's appeal to the underpass.

Ryanair has failed in its last-ditch effort to appeal a decision by An Coimisiún Pleanála to approve a €200m-plus tunnel project at Dublin Airport.

The Supreme Court has rejected an application from the airline to seek leave to appeal a High Court decision to refuse it a judicial review of the planning watchdog’s decision. The High Court also refused Ryanair leave to appeal.

The DAA has welcomed the Supreme Court decision.

“We look forward to now getting on with the construction of the underpass,” said a spokesperson.

Their argument was the loss of 2 stands absolute rubbish in time passengers could be using the tunnel to get to remote stands on the western part of the campus.
