Dublin Airport given six weeks to cut night flights
Dublin Airport given six weeks to cut night flightsDublin Airport has been ordered to significantly reduce its night time flights amid claims it has breached strict planning permission rules governing the usage of its new north runway.
In separate statements today, Fingal County Council and daa, which operates Dublin Airport, confirmed the issue.
The daa has criticised the decision, and its timing, as it is taking place during the peak summer time period.
Dublin Airport's north runway opened last August despite concerns from local residents over the potential impact of noise from planes flying over their homes.
As a result, planning permission given for the runway included a condition saying that no more than 65 flights could operate from the runway between 11pm and 7am.

Wonder what impact this will have on the Aer Lingus schedules given the fact they are often operating during those hours .
