ANCA fails to consider the correct flight paths from the North Runway. Even the Minister has publicly acknowledged the current flight paths are not as planned and need to be reviewed! This is all in the wrong order!
Gareth O'Brien retweeted
Divergent flight paths. Why are they still turning sharp, low and hard over many communities. What’s the reason when alternatives exist? Ryanair and Aer Lingus both said at the Oireachtas Cte they would fly straight out if asked to do so. Incompetence of highest order.

ANCA proposes significantly more noise and less protection for residents. Doesn’t add up!

Ireland ordered more than 130 electric double-decker buses before ensuring its depots could even charge them.
As of July, most of the buses were still sitting idle in storage, even though many were delivered more than two years ago.
The cost of storing and servicing the electric fleet has now reached almost €7 million.
Officials blame missing grid connections and charging infrastructure. But a charger is not an optional extra for an electric bus. Ireland bought the photo opportunity before building a functioning transport system.
Taxpayers paid millions for the electric buses.
Paid millions more to store them.
Then kept paying to run diesel buses anyway.
Nice job @AerLingus put the loudest aircraft in the fleet over a town of 16,000+ people at 3,500 ft. Because flying over empty fields is too hard for @DublinAirport to figure out?
The aviation industry is never short of useful idiots!
De inzet op stiller vliegen van en naar @Schiphol laat goed resultaat zien.
Schiphol is van groot economisch belang en dit resultaat laat zien dat de roep om verder te krimpen onnodig is.

Nice weather. People outside. I'm sure it's complete coincidence that daa @DublinAirport has turned off most of their noise-monitoring stations.

You had *checks notes* thirteen years in government to make these graphs look different. Thankfully only one of us teaches economics. You wouldn’t even get into my class 💁🏼♀️
Hey @Buseireann, Any chance anyone knows/cares why the 103X commuter service was over 40 minutes late at Ballybin stop in Ashbourne? I left a 17 y/o standing in the cold for the guts of an hour for what reason?

In May 2018, @ReginaDo noted that while the practice of bogus self employment existed, it was not as widespread as some critics suggested.
In 2026, Revenue Chairman Cody revealled that 280 organisations voluntarily revealed they had misclassified staff and

The irony that the daa held up the 40m infrastructure application by taking 20months to supply noise information to the noise competent authority
Requested in Mar ‘24 and delivered in Nov ‘25
Sure what’s the rush when the Minister will bail you out
