One of the big issues I had was that the airline noise competent authority, ANCA, was so closely linked to Fingal County Council and the DAA is such a high ratepayer of Fingal County Council. There was always this concern that the parties were too close for a regulatory function and the first thing out of the gate, or out of the runway, was this. It has just crippled trust, unfortunately, and it will take a long time to repair, if it can be repaired at all, with the communities.
