Dublin Airport (Passenger Capacity) Bill 2026: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2026-06-30
============================================================

Aidan Farrelly (SD), Kildare North

I will finish on this. What we are faced with in the context of this legislation is the potential for future Ministers to end up in court as a result of the State's duties under the climate Act not being fulfilled. I look forward to the Minister's comment on that.
It is unlawful that what we are trying to do is not only bypass the statutory bodies, but also not fulfil our obligations under domestic law when it comes to the climate Act. That merits further scrutiny, yet in approximately 60 minutes, it will all be done and dusted.
