As the Deputy will be aware, the DAA has statutory responsibility to manage, operate and develop Dublin Airport. In April 2016 DAA announced plans to proceed with a second parallel runway; the North Runway project, with the intention of having the runway operational by the end of 2020.
I have welcomed daa's decision to develop this critical piece of airport infrastructure, which will ensure Ireland's International connectivity into the future.
As the development of the North Runway is a matter for the DAA, I have forwarded your question to them for their attention and direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy does not hear from the DAA within 10 working days, I ask that he inform my private office.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
