As I stated in my previous response, they provided the methodology in how the passenger cap is calculated and its enumeration. The total number of number passengers that passed through the terminals was 31.9 million, in excess of 1 million connecting passengers use the airport terminals and more than 500,000 included transit passengers did not leave the plane or were search-and-rescue and air ambulance passengers.

The other important point is that the condition, which was put in place around this specific passenger cap, related to infrastructure, roads and public transport at Dublin Airport.

The Government does not provide the interpretation on a planning decision. That is a matter for Fingal County Council, as the relevant planning authority. We do not have a specific role in such matters. It is the same for enforcement of any planning condition.
