"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."
"Planned legislation to axe cap could spare Micheál Martin's blushes at White House next month"
"It will, of course, be welcomed by airlines."
Planned legislation will remove the passenger cap at Dublin Airport ahead of a White House visit by Micheál Martin. The measure carries minimal immediate effect for leisure travellers but eliminates a regulatory limit on airport traffic. Airlines are expected to welcome the change as it permits capacity growth. The move is likely to anger environmental groups and provoke opposition from some local residents. Farming bodies also express resentment, with members resistant to being told to cut emissions. The timing reduces a political embarrassment risk during the upcoming international visit while shifting debate toward emissions and local impacts.
