Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Dublin Airport Authority: Discussion with Chairman Designate

3:00 pm

Mr. Pádraig Ó Ríordáin:

It will. That will be a significant part of the environmental impact study. The study will look at these two conditions and say what their effect is now. They will be studied in depth in terms of the noise profile of modern aircraft and the noise contours as well. A noise contour essentially measures where the noise is produced around a runway. As one can imagine, it is like to a long bubble around the runway but it has different effects in different places. All of that will be canvassed as part of the environmental impact statement.
