I made it very clear to the Senator that if that level of noise were applied to Frankfurt Airport, in which there are 894 flights per day, it would be reduced to about ten flights a day.

At least Senator Craughwell was honest in his contribution and what reasonable people understand. If one wants to make specious arguments, speaking to guidelines which are not standard or a legal requirement anywhere in the world - the report itself spoke about the evidence being thin on the ground – then so be it. In the meantime, to those who are concerned about the health and well-being of the people of Fingal, some consideration should be given to them-----
