Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: Amendment No. 3 is very similar to amendment No. 2. We just did some rewording and tidied it up or whatever; it is practically the same so some of my points have been made. I wish to highlight the importance of including a specific reference to "Night Noise Guidelines". When the WHO emphasises health, it puts the spotlight on night in particular because sleep is critical to health. In...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: Obviously the WHO research should be listened to. I am going to move this on the next Stage.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: I move amendment No. 3: In page 6, between lines 6 and 7, to insert the following: “ “Balanced Approach” means both the International Civil Aviation Organisations (ICAO) agreed hierarchy of measures designated to reduce the adverse impact of aircraft noise on those living in the vicinity of an airport and the recommendations for aircraft noise published in the World...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: I will speak on my amendments in this group now as well. It has been well flagged to the Minister, before Christmas in the debate that took place in the full Dáil and in much of the correspondence that he would have received from residents who have studied this, that it is not appropriate that Fingal County Council would be responsible for monitoring and protecting residents in respect...

Ruth Coppinger: Is the Minister saying the agency was consulted?

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: Does the Minister have records of it?

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: If agency officials did not keep records, the Department would have done so. The Minister will be able to show us.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: He need not worry. I will definitely look into it.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: It does not.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: On the competent authority which could best provide the kind of service we are referring to in respect of noise, the reason I put in the EPA is because it currently does noise mapping. If we go onto the EPA website now, www.epa.ie, and then click into EPAMaps, it can be seen that in Tyrrelstown, which I looked up because it is a community very near me, the noise level during the day is 55 to...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: It was made to the EPA to check if agency officials had any of these records. They are saying that they have checked and that they do not have any records. Department officials must have records and we would like to see them. This is bringing up an issue.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: Yes, but maybe they can follow this up in correspondence.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: The residents were keen for us to raise the matter because they were shocked.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: The issue of who the authority should be is relevant. I do not think the argument about Fingal County Council holds up at all. It is simply a question of the reality about the airport. I would like to see a breakdown of the 7% figure. Either way, it is a major employer and entity within Fingal. Local authority managers are now called chief executives. That says it all about their...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee Stage (16 Jan 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: Yes. Deputy Troy can clarify the matter himself. I am simply trying to clarify it. If that is the case, then it will be really disappointing for residents because there is absolutely no way it would work. Let us suppose a new department was set up called airport noise protection and it had amazing experts in it. Anything it would produce would potentially be overruled by the manager or...
