Dublin Airport New Runway/Infrastructure.

https://www.pleanala.ie/en-ie/case/314485

Various Asian routes have been held back. These would bring down airfreight costs to/from major markets for both imports and exports as well as make business travel easier

Won't they need proper grounds for an appeal? Like there was a flaw in the process that ABP followed to come to its decision. Not just that you don't like the decision.

I wouldn't call the runway planning application unrelated to the use of the runway.

Some nights do hit 100. But over 2023 they did 33k. So this is a slight increase over that.
And and 50% increased over the actual permitted numbers.

RTE has a very biased headline in its reporting of this:

Yes very. A small number of residents said

Some observations as below on the ruling.

Annual cap now 35,672 as against 13,000 Draft summer/winter proposal in the draft decision so potential for higher summer figures ie. rough count 110 movements during peak 7 months and 80 movements during off peak 5 months or potential to adjust.

Extra 2 hours for the North runway and no restrictions on take off hours as in draft proposal 6-8am

Noise quota not sure where the cargo flights fit in?

Allows the PP for the passenger cap to move forward hopefully.

Looking at the London airports night time restrictions which I know is not comparing like for like it does seem to be a workable solution.

Because it makes good viewer air time, now when did they buy the house and build on? I would bet after North runway got planning permission in 2007. As you say gambled back fired and now crying unfair

If the instrument departure is ever changed to straight out of 28R, I'd laugh when she hears the exact same level of noise. There's now way she never even heard the south runway prior to the opening of the north runway. Calling the ruling which pretty much leaves the amount of movements per night the exact same as what it is currently and allows one of the most strategic pieces of infrastructure in the country to operate and function properly for the entire island ''reckless'', is a complete joke.

It's an oddity that a local municipality can hobble the operation of the national airport. There is absolutely no way that the Dutch government would let Schipol's operation be reduced by some local authority, that's their gateway to the world and that's a country that has land borders. We are an island, it's our main way in or out.

The real oddity is that in most respects Irish Local Authorities have very little power, and largely act as agents for the implementation of national policies. This makes the stranglehold they have on a national issue,via the planning system, really egregious

I was reading an article this morning about the NDP and where it stands as the government is about to update the plan. One point was made on water treatment and how it is currently being held up for the last number of years by 1 ONE just ONE sea swimmer. That this delay could lead in the next couple of years to NO local authority being able to approve ANY new residential property development in the greater Dublin area. With a property crisis already in full swing this is mental.

The planning system in the country needs to be fixed and massively streamlined. Individuals and small groups of people should NOT be allowed hold entire populations to ransom. Especially with a defence filled with lies and mistruths to garner sympathy. Any objection to planning should cost an individual a sum of money, maybe €500 against a house extension, €2000 against a new estate, €5000 agains a major capital development etc. off the back of this any objection should be heard and completed within 6-8 weeks. Any appeal within 4 weeks. Nonsense objections need to stop.

Schiphol is probably a bad example… the government themselves were trying to force them to reduce flight numbers by such an insane amount; to stop the use of Schiphol as a transfer airport. Until the Americans told them they'd reduce Dutch - US flights if they did!
