There has been no breakthrough in the ongoing dispute over Dublin Airport's passenger cap following a meeting between Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary and Transport Minister Eamon Ryan.

Mr Ryan has stressed he cannot overrule a decision by planning authorities to impose the existing cap on Dublin Airport, which limits passenger numbers to 32m a year.
