DAA wins court reprieve from having to reduce the number of night-time flights at Dublin Airport
DAA claimed that if the stay, pending the outcome of the full action, was not granted by the court the airport operator faced the prospect of possibly having to cancel thousands of flights, causing disruption to over 700,000 passengers.
In its judicial review proceedings DAA seeks various orders and declarations against the council, including an order quashing the enforcement notice. Following the conclusion of submissions by DAA’s legal team, Mr Justice Dignam said he was satisfied that the legal threshold to allow the court grant permission to bring the challenge had been met. He also said that he was satisfied, with some reservations, to grant DAA, on an ex parte basis with only one side represented in court, an interim stay on the enforcement notice coming into effect.
Mr Valentine said on one reading it may have to cancel about 300 night-time flights, which would disrupt up to 45,000 passengers. Another interpretation of the notice would require DAA to cancel some 4,000 flights over the coming weeks and months that would disrupt over 700,000 passengers. This would have an adverse economic impact.
