The operator of Dublin Airport has said if a decision on increasing the cap on passenger numbers is made quickly, it could prevent the number of flights in and out of the airport in 2024 and 2025 from being reduced.
Daa says if the cap is not changed, there could be implications for jobs and the economy, but local residents say the impact on the community also needs to be considered.
"Aviation is the main way that we get on and off this island for both trade and personal travel and capping that I think creates a difficulty." Mr Jacobs also warned that if the cap is not increased, there could be implications for jobs and the economy. "That will damage connectivity to Ireland, it will damage the economy, it will stop new jobs being created and it will also hurt our sustainability ambitions."
