Photograph: Alan BetsonPlans by the operator of Dublin Weston Airport to locate a Search and Rescue base at the facility are facing opposition from a stud farm operator and local residents.
A planning report included with the application states it is intended to be one of four new bases and will become operational from July 1st, 2025. However, stud farm operator Tony Doyle has told the council the prospect of night time fights at Weston Airport “will have a drastic consequence for us, our animals and the people looking after them”.
In a separate objection, the Laraghcon Residents Association on behalf of 340 homes has asked the council to refuse planning permission as the proposal “is contrary to our climate change strategy”.
