Vol. 195 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Restriction on Building Near Airports.

10.

Mr. Ryan

asked the Minister for Transport and Power the nature and extent of the restrictions against the erection of buildings in the vicinity of (a) Dublin Airport, (b) Shannon Airport and (c) Cork Airport.

The erection of tall buildings in the vicinity of airports could constitute a hazard both to the buildings and to aircraft. The local authorities consult me in respect of the erection of buildings in the vicinity of the airports at Dublin and Cork. The local authority has assumed certain planning powers in respect of district electoral divisions adjacent to Shannon Airport.
