Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
1252. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on the failure of the Dublin Airport Authority to provide the community liaison group with the longitudinal measurements of noise over their homes; if all relevant information can be made available to residents as a matter of urgency; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14278/17]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the daa has statutory responsibility to manage, operate and develop Dublin Airport, including the North Runway project.
However, in order to be of assistance, I have had enquiries made and I understand from daa that it continues to provide information on noise to local communities. Most recently, it arranged a presentation by experts Bickerdike Allen Partners to the Dublin Airport Environmental Working Group on 15 March regarding noise data from the permanent Noise Monitoring Terminals in the vicinity of the airport.
I also understand that the longitudinal analysis requested at the Community Liaison Group is currently being finalised and will be presented at the next meeting of that forum which is scheduled for 30 March.
