General Scheme of the Airport Noise Regulation Bill 2018: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Ronan Gallagher:

It is to be done every five years, as far as I understand it. The timelines actually fit in with Regulation No. 598/20014. What we are trying to do in this Bill is to have these two processes running in parallel and feeding into one another. It is a recurring piece and the 2002 directive and Regulation No. 598 both provide for periodic reviews, with monitoring in between. Assessments are made of the current position as well as the future position, particularly in the context of development plans at the airport and in the region as a whole, the noise implications of same and the steps that need to be taken to manage that into the future.
