I stand corrected in that regard, but I still think we are doing democracy a disservice. We are also doing a disservice to the residents who live in the areas surrounding Dublin Airport and the future generations who will be affected when the airport wishes to bare its teeth and expand further, which will lead to further noise infiltration to the surrounding area. Shame on the Minister. I am aghast that Fianna Fáil has only one Senator in attendance and is allowing this legislation to be progressed without standing up for democracy and the well-being of communities in that area.
