North Dublin residents who have formed the North Runway Technical Group has claims that Dublin Airport is continuing to defy planning requirements due to flight path discrepancies from its North Runway.
The North Runway Technical Group claims the daa is refusing to submit the required noise study to ANCA while An Bord Pleanala considers their night flight application because it would reveal their flawed flight path problem.
The Aircraft Noise Competent Authority (ANCA) has requested daa to conduct a noise study for its proposed airport capacity increase, one the daa says it is precluding from supplying as it awaits the result of a legal challenge.
NRTG spokesperson Gareth O’Brien said: “The IAA’s response makes clear how An Bord Pleanála and others have been misled by daa’s often repeated claim that IAA required the flight paths to turn for ‘safety reasons’. Perhaps daa should now explain the real reason they chose to ignore the Noise Preferential Route granted in their planning permission and use a short cut that dumps noise on 30,000 people?
