Flight paths on the north runway at Dublin Airport are not as planned. Houses, schools, businesses and communities are being overflown that were never intended to be overflown. This is causing huge consternation.
On Tuesday, 3 October, RTÉ's "Prime Time" covered this issue very well, and the impact it is having on communities. It also presented a potential solution, as presented by Mr. Gareth O'Brien and others, to bring flight paths more closely in line with what was originally planned, reducing the impact on households, businesses and schools. Is the Taoiseach aware of this issue? Has he seen this proposal and would he support its full exploration?
