Mr. Michael O'Leary:

This is significant. There is a noise penalty now. It is modest, but there is a noise penalty for residents around the airport. As Deputy Smith rightly said, the DAA continuously mismanages the situation not just for its airport customers but also for the neighbouring community. It is not incentivising us or Aer Lingus to put into use the quieter aircraft here in Dublin even from the perspective of being a community incentive or of being a better neighbour to residents who live around the airport. This just goes to show the disconnect that exists in this regard. The DAA, however, will not fix the car parks either and is saying, "Sorry, we are full and there is nothing we can do about it". I would be very critical of the DAA management in that respect.
