Residents say the noise 'kind of gets into your head.. it follows you around the house, because we're not insulated for that kind of noise. It's like having a tumble dryer on full blast'
Locals in Ballyboughal and the surrounding areas are calling on Dublin Airport to amend flight paths and asking An Board Pleanála not to grant the airport permission for further flights, including night flights, to take off from the runway.
However, since 24 August when the north runway opened, the keen gardener says the sound of birdsong in his back garden has now been replaced by the incessant sound of planes flying directly over his home. "It follows you around the house, because we're not insulated for that kind of noise. It's like having a tumble dryer on full blast."
"We took a survey of our residents and we found that an awful lot of them were really concerned. We had one nurse who works nights she can't sleep during the day because of the noise. So it's a real mental health issue." "They need share their thoughts on the solutions with the community. The community are being left high and dry. Everybody in north Dublin appreciates the value of the airport and we are supportive of the airport. But they equally have to act as good neighbors".
