My question relates to the proposed north runway at Dublin Airport, which will now proceed after a long period on the shelf. The benefit of this runway to the local, regional and national economy is beyond argument and it is to be welcomed. There are valid concerns from residents in communities such as Portmarnock, Kinsealy, Balgriffin, south Swords, St. Margaret's, the Ward and Kilreece regarding the impact the new runway will have on noise pollution. Is the Minister aware of these concerns and does he have a plan to address them?
