As daa has statutory responsibility to manage, operate and develop Dublin Airport, including the proposed new runway project and its engagement with local communities, this question has been referred to them for direct reply to the Deputy. If no answer has been received in ten working days, the Deputy should contact my private office.

The issues raised by the Deputy, namely, current restrictions on night-time flying and aircraft maintenance activities at Dublin Airport, are operational matters for the daa which has the statutory responsibility for the management, operation and development of the airport.
I have, therefore, forwarded the question to the daa for the company to reply directly to the Deputy on these matters. If the Deputy does not receive a reply from the daa within ten working days, please advise my Private Office.
