There is a pretty clear anti airport line being pushed by Fingal. The time to move on applications, North Runway etc etc. Hopefully the new planning legislation will clear things up

The 'cap' while reasonable and valid at the time, circumstances have changed since, M50 has an extra lane, electronic toll, vast increase in bus services and the opening of the port tunnel all dramatically changed the environment. Yet another city centre - Airport bus route starts on Dec 8th, 19 - Airport Parnell Square

The cap is somewhat nonsense as if you took the busiest day in the Summer and multiply that by 364 you would be at 40+ million easily
