Business groups back lifting of €320m Dublin runway restrictions

Business groups have backed the Daa in its efforts to remove restrictions on overnight flights from its new North Runway, as protests from local residents opposed to the plan intensify.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Transport Minister, Shane Ross, were on hand to turn the sod on Dublin Airport’s new €320m North Runway project, which the Daa says is "urgently needed" for long-term Irish economic growth.
