The Taoiseach will agree that Dublin Airport is critical to the economic development of our country. He will also agree it is now at capacity and the need for the second runway is urgent. Critical to this is the regulation of noise by the Irish Aviation Authority, which will address concerns of local residents and enable construction of the runway to commence. Will the Government advise on whether primary or secondary legislation will be put in place to give authority to the Irish Aviation Authority, because it is required? When the Government has decided on whether it is primary or secondary legislation, when can we expect it to come before the House?
