Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

I thank the Deputy. This is an issue I know is ongoing and there is significant engagement between the Minister for Transport, the DAA and other relevant bodies in this regard. The Deputy is right; we are an island and we rely heavily on our airports and our air connectivity so it is really important we are not in any way disadvantaged. However, it is also important that we support the communities that live near the airport, as the Deputy referenced, whether it is making sure flight paths are adhered to or addressing issues around noise or traffic.
As we progress and move to increase or remove the cap, it is important that those issues are addressed as well. The Minister for Transport is very aware of these issues also.
