Airline seat capacity to Ireland expected to rise 15% this winter

the figures from Fáilte Ireland come amid a pause in the Dublin Airport passenger cap

Enforcement of Dublin Airport's passenger cap has been suspended pending a court action in Europe over its legality. 

Airline seat capacity to Irish airports across the festive period is expected to be 15% higher than the same period last year as the passenger cap at Dublin Airport is paused amid ongoing court action, a report from Fáilte Ireland has said.

Under its 2007 planning permission, Dublin Airport is limited to managing 32 million passengers a year through both of their terminals.
