Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage

I move amendment No. 3:

In page 6, between lines 6 and 7, to insert the following: “ “Balanced Approach” means both the International Civil Aviation Organisations (ICAO) agreed hierarchy of measures designated to reduce the adverse impact of aircraft noise on those living in the vicinity of an airport and the recommendations for aircraft noise published in the World Health Organisation’s report Night Noise Guidelines for Europe 2018;”.

I will move and withdraw this amendment. This gives time for residents to have a dialogue with Deputies in the run-up to the next Stage. This is particularly important for protecting communities, protecting health, and specifying and nailing down in the legislation that night-time regulation is important in protecting people.
