Residents near Dublin Airport fear that health complications could result from overnight North Runway flights.
Local residents have sharply criticised the move on the grounds that the noise could cause severe disruption to sleep patterns, potentially leading to serious health effects down the line. Residents in Saint Margaret’s organised a protest on Monday outside Fingal County Council offices to protest against the health related risks.
Georgina lives in North County Dublin and says that while she was optimistic about the runway itself, the unexpected frequency of flights taking off near her house has caused her significant stress. The local resident’s group in St Margaret’s has been a lifeline for her and many others in the area as the issue continues to envelop the community.
