As the Deputy is aware, the daa has statutory responsibility to manage, operate and develop Dublin Airport, including the North Runway project.  It is my understanding that the daa is holding regular information sessions in order to keep local communities and other stakeholders informed of progress on this project.

It is very important to me that a balance is struck in delivering an essential piece of infrastructure that is in the national interest while also minimising the impacts on local communities and I have already met with a number of representative groups to hear their views.  I am therefore happy to meet with representatives from the organisation in question.  They may contact my private office in order to make arrangements for a meeting.
