Dublin Airport will be installing soundproofing for more homes than originally expected because of a "spectacular error" in the planning of its new north runway.
The airport opened the €320m second runway this August , but from the very start of their new operation, an issue regarding departure flight paths emerged which resulted in “some local communities being unexpectedly overflown”.
Without the necessary soundproofing, the noise disrupted the lives of residents in north county Dublin which prompted them to lead a protest yesterday evening, in what was said to be the coldest day since 2010.
