Hello,

Below are metrics from the DAA themselves:

Its is without doubt violation of planning and certainly is noise pollution.
This is having a growing negative impact on the residence of Ratoath and Ashbourne.
Please can something be done about this...

From DAA #dublinairport directly in response to our queries (Ratoath Only)..... 

1357 flights over Ratoath in April 2024 

March 2024: An average of 30.6 aircraft noise events per day were above 70 SEL dBA 

April 2024: 60% of aircraft (814) noise events across the month were between 65-69.9 SEL dBA 

April 2024: 23% (312) of aircraft noise events across the month were between 70-74.9 SEL dBA 

This is noise pollution and violates Environmental and planning conditions (Condition 1) given to Dublin Airport as per planning process.

It is also clear no planning was sought for the Noise Preferential Route over Ratoath given DAA claim IAA approved it, but IAA say they dont approve routes!!!

Check out this short video a #factcheck of Kenny Jacobs, DAA CEO.
