Da Sinn Féin die Regierung unterstützt, verabschiedet Dáil problemlos einen Gesetzentwurf, der die Abschaffung der Passagierobergrenze für Flughäfen ermöglicht

Finally.
I’d like the government to remember we have other airports than dublin
Nice. Now build some trains and houses
On one hand, we are being battered with green levies. Coal and oil are at it’s highest cost ever.
On the other hand, the government is ok with more and more flights coming in and out of Dublin.
Double standards going on here.
Fair dues to Sinn Fein for putting the national interest first.
I’ve said this before, but this is long long overdue, both for the sake of Dublin, and for the sake of other airports in Ireland who’ve been avoided by airlines for strategic reasons.
Lol government catches up with Sinn Féin 2024 mannifesto. Independent: „Sinn Féin supports government“
I guess screw the environment then
Good news. Dublin Airport has potential to be a major transit hub for North American –> European Air travel and vice versa.
Ok great now that we did this for the economy can we stop building data centres?
Whatever about the economic or environmental issues this is rewarding incompetence from DAA with no consequence.
DAA had plenty of time to apply to Fingal CC to get the cap removed when the access roads were improved. They left it until the last minute and then fucked up the most basic parts of the planning application (didn’t erect a public notice).
They then were crying to national government to cover up their own incompetence.
It may be economically necessary but it’s not good governance from FFG
An island with a passenger cap.. Ireland 😂
the cap was daft from the start, dublin was hitting its ceiling while shannon and cork sat with loads of spare capacity. airlines just routed everything through dublin anyway because thats where the demand was, the cap didnt change that. removing it wont magically fix the mess but at least were not artificially throttling growth anymore. the bigger issue is still transport links, you can land in dublin fine but getting out of it without a hire car is a nightmare. regional airports probably wont see much change from this either, airlines will keep piling into dublin because thats where the passengers already are. would have been smarter to tie this to actual rail investment but sure well take what we can get.
