Ms Catherine Gubbins:

There are two separate issues at play here. The Deputy referred to the deviation in the flight path. That specific issue will, hopefully, be resolved on 23 February, as we have discussed. The actual flight paths, whether they are the deviated or the original, are not a factor of our planning permission. The Deputy referred to the 2007 application. The north runway was constructed under a planning permission that was granted in 2007. The Deputy is absolutely right that we are currently engaged in a process, which the noise regulator ANCA, has made a decision on. This has been appealed to An Bord Pleanála. We are actually in the process of engagement around separate conditions to do with that 2007 planning permission, which to our mind is a completely separate process to the flight path deviation issue that we had previously discussed. As of 23 February, we are very hopeful that the new flight path will be in place, and hopefully that issue will be resolved. We are in the middle of a statutory process, which absolutely needs to run its course over the next few months.
