@Basildon Joe: Talking to yourself yet again, I see.

@Brendan O’Brien: who Are you muugy man? Cocka roacho

@Basildon Joe: Yes, that’s him!

Absolutely wonderful work by the mighty FG, no wonder sensational simon is heading for an awesome win :)

@Brendan O’Brien: a crushing defeat for the climate cult lol

@Thesaltyurchin: Shock, horror…well I never…..

@Brian Hunt: that’s fair

@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: mmmm, let’s see, say I just don’t agree with the speed limit on the motorway of 120km/ hr…… so I can go at 150km/hr??? You HAVE to operate under existing laws at the time

@Frank Mc Carthy: You seem to only apply that logic sporadically according to your comments on other articles.

@Diarmuid Hunt: ??chutes?? The ‘pot calling kettle black’ dilemma??

@Frank Mc Carthy: You were never the brightest in the shed it seems.

@Frank Mc Carthy: That’s not really a relevant comparison. Nice try though! Maybe you should tell the judge that gave the stay your little comparison and see if he changes his mind!

@Alex: shed?

Fire the clown immediately

@J Ven: The M50 upgrade began in 2006 and was completed in 2010. If all stakeholders and news articles are saying the condition was based off old road infrastructure….. Maybe you might be wrong!!!

@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: a big scare tactic.and pure greed here. No metro will ever happen.

@Basildon Joe: Wouldn’t be newsworthy if the DAA were proactive and had the cap raised years ago. It’s nonsense to cap an airport based on infrastructure from 17 years ago that has since been upgraded…… Economic growth doesn’t happen with charity and good will, a bit of greed from them benefits us all with extra routes and more tourists. Otherwise the airlines will just go elsewhere to make the profit like we’ve seen with Ryanair moving planes from Dublin

@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: I don’t know what age are you, but I drive a 3 line M50 in 2007, besides that, what about the other motorways, or are you suggesting that all hotels and tourists stays within the M50? The city centre is locked during peak hours, no extra lanes, not much has been done in Dublin or the country to transport that many passengers who are nothing going through the M50, but the M1 as well with the same lanes as 2007, the city centre and other parts of Ireland. I don’t know how old you are, but traffic wasn’t that bad in 2007 even in the city centre, it was barely manageable and starting to need upgrades that’s never came to a satisfactory extent.

@J Ven: You don’t need more lane on the m50.

@J Ven: Here, read the M50 website and argue your version of reality with them, link to their facts below……. Peak hours to travel to the airport are between 4am and 7am for the non stop departures from 6am to 9am. Travelling from the airport is probably busiest between 11am – 2 pm (all year), and again from 10pm to 12pm. (More so in the summer). That doesn’t line up with local rush hour traffic!

@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: “Metro in the works”
Are you joking?
We will be flying to mars by the time we get a metro working:)

@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: I’ll take that you’re a kid who doesn’t use the M50 or drove 20 years ago vs today. I’ll take you for a kid who never drove in another European capital. You’ve got two ears and one mouth, use them accordingly, the M50 is not Dublin, read about the traffic bottleneck concept in engineering, learn something and then speak.

@J Ven: I’m in my 50s, live in Dublin. If you’re going to argue that the M50 was 3 lanes in 2007 maybe get your facts right first, your memory obviously isn’t as good as you think. It’s a simple thing to get right and I was even good enough to source the info for you….. Dublin City is a disaster without any input from the airport. It is poorly planned. The country has also had a population increase of approx 900k people since 2007 and a lot of people moved to Dublin and commuter towns from the country since the crash, many of whom work in the city. Public transport isn’t amazing either….. You might take your own advice and learn when M50 was up and running as 3 lanes and we wouldn’t have gotten into this little too and frow! You’re welcome!

@Alex: What happens if a judge considers a law outdated that the majority of people, including yourself, don’t? Would you have a problem with the judge not enforcing it, or do you think you will be able to pick and choose the laws you want enforced?

@John Dennehy: hopefully :)

@Michael Fehily: That’s incorrect. The cap was put in place on 2007 as part of the conditions of planning for Terminal 2. It was put in place as there was a concern over road congestion in the surrounding areas around close to the airport. Most notably the M50 which still had a physical toll both and was only two lanes. The new runway which has seperate restrictions is not connected to the current passenger cap that is in place.

@FoxyBoiiYT: Airlines decide where they fly not airports. No gov or IAA can regulate where they fly

@Michael Carty: Used Cork over the weekend, living in South Tipperary. Great little airport, in and out of security in 5 min. Parking reasonable, don’t know why anyone down this end of the country would use Dublin if they can help it.

@Michael Fehily: No, there are more destinations from Dublin because successive Irish Governments have for decades failed to foster regional development as to do so would require a level of competence beyond them – look at the boreen passing as a national primary route between our second + third largest cities (both with international airports nearby) as just one embarrassing example. I know you probably consider Dublin as being literally centre of the Universe but you should try taking off the blinkers some time. And BTW the word is spelt “hence”, not “hense”.
