Dublin Airport has been given permission to increase the number of night-time flights, as An Coimisiún Pleanála reversed an earlier draft decision to limit these flights.

The decision will also allow the north runway of the airport to be used up to midnight and from 6am, rather than the original permission of up to 11pm and from 7am.
