"The long-awaited government move to scrap the cap at Dublin Airport has little immediate impact on leisure travellers but will incense environmental groups, some locals and even farming bodies whose members resent being told to cut their emissions."
"It will, of course, be welcomed by airlines."
The government intends to legislate to remove the passenger cap at Dublin Airport. The change produces minimal immediate effect for leisure travellers. Environmental groups, local residents, and farming organizations are likely to be incensed by the removal of the cap. Some farming members resent being instructed to cut emissions and view the move as unfair. Airlines will welcome the decision and stand to benefit commercially. The change could reduce political embarrassment for Micheál Martin ahead of a forthcoming White House visit. The decision highlights a policy choice favoring aviation and industry interests over immediate environmental and local objections.
