Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: I thank Mr. Jacobs for his presentation. As a TD for Meath East, he will appreciate if I focus on noise mitigation and planning updates. Mr. Jacobs mentioned that the way to deal with noise is to insulate homes. Another way, of course, is to design flight paths that do not pass over homes, are appropriately assessed and are planning compliant. He will be aware that there are specific...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: On planning, Mr. Jacobs is saying that the flight paths that are currently operating have not had environmental impact or noise impact assessments done on them.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: For example, Mr. Jacobs stated specifically, and I find this counterintuitive, that an additional 660 homes will become eligible for insulation if planning is approved for the relevant action and that 38 homes will be eligible for a buy-out. That indicates that this is directly related to the operation of the current flight paths. We know that an additional seven acres have come in,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: Mr. Jacobs will accept that some people will strongly contest how those measurements are made and averaged out. He has indicated that he will go to Ashbourne and Ratoath to meet residents there. Other Deputies and Senators in this committee will hear practically on a daily basis of monitoring that is well in excess of what ANCA or others will report. That needs to be acknowledged and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: On the planning piece, is Mr. Jacobs saying that as far as DAA is concerned, the operation of the flight paths as they currently stand is planning compliant, complies with the regulations and meets the standards that apply to flight paths?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: The DAA is dealing with its own operations department, the IAA and AirNav. Is it not the case that AirNav does not have the skills in-house to look at parallel runways? It has been part of the problem here. Are there not others that DAA could and should consult on the operation of the aerodrome and the north runway?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: Mr. Jacobs has said that DAA is engaging with AirNav to determine how a consultation process could be run in the future and potentially provide scope to explore suggestions with communities. I firmly believe that DAA does not just need to consult with the IAA and AirNav, but that it also needs to consult with those community groups. There is expertise within the community, including based...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: Is the end of the year the indicative timeline?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: I wish to discuss the complaint system and PFAS. Does the DAA know how often the WebTrak noise complaint system is down or inaccessible? It is reported to us that it is down a lot and it prevents residents from reporting. It has also been identified that emails are not accepted. A person can only log one complaint at a time. There is an hour delay on WebTrak. There is also the principle...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
