The Irish Aviation Authority recently lodged a planning application in respect of the proposed new Visual Control Tower at Dublin Airport. However, the building of the proposed Tower will only be required if the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) proceeds with the construction of a second runway at Dublin airport. The current decline in the aviation market has affected traffic at the airport and the DAA has therefore deferred this element of its proposed capital programme for the airport, until such time as demand dictates.
