Airport operator DAA was last Tuesday granted a stay on a council order restricting night flights
In a letter to councillors in recent days, Fingal’s executive said it had received court papers following the hearing which “will now be subject to a complete review by the legal and planning teams before the next steps are decided”.
However, the letter noted: “the court has given Fingal County Council the right to apply to the High Court to vary or remove the interim stay order, subject to 48 hours’ notice being given to DAA of any such application”. Planning enforcement investigations are continuing into complaints received by the council in relation to “other alleged breaches” of conditions attached to the planning permission for the North Runway, the letter said.
“A decision on an application by Fingal County Council to have the stay on the operation of the enforcement notice varied or removed will be made once the review of the substantial number of court papers received has been completed,” it said. A number of councillors including Green Party representatives David Healy, Karen Power, Ian Care and Pamela Conroy had written to the council chief executive AnnMarie Farrelly after the hearing, asking that she apply to have the stay lifted to allow the enforcement notice to take effect in six weeks’ time. “The decision by the DAA to seek a stay on the enforcement notice is frustrating as it renders it useless until proceedings are finished,” they said.
