The airport have had years to get this cap raised but presumeably thought they could just ignore it. Whether the cap makes sense or not the airport have made a right balls of managing the situation

(Added emphasis from myself)
>The Planning Authority has informed the daa that their application to raise the capacity of Dublin Airport to 36 million passengers per annum is invalid.
>
>The application (F24A/1178E) is invalid because it *fails to comply with Article 18(1)(d), Article 19(1)(a), and Article 22 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001* (as amended). It is also invalid because the proposed description of the development in the public notices is non-compliant with the relevant regulations and is inadequate and misleading.

>It is a matter of great concern to the Planning Authority that such a significant planning application is invalid. *Pre-planning is available to assist applicants but did not take place for this application.* The daa application and the decision by the Planning Authority are available to view on the Fingal County Council website
Article 18(1) and Article 19 (1) are about a newspaper and site notice of the planning application. [See pages 73-75 here](https://assets.gov.ie/121548/a045e28d-c0fe-430a-a35f-d35a31df72c1.pdf). This is super basic stuff for any planning application.
Basically the DAA fucked up. Royally.
Kenny Jacobs on RTÉ this morning blaming this on the council.
Despite the fact that DAA didn’t avail of a pre application consultation with Fingal planners.
Amateur hour (not amateur pay though)
With bearing in mind that this is the more interim one, which proposed raising the cap to 36 million without much else being done, not the larger 40 million plan which is still under consideration.
The airport is critical infrastructure but the management is blatantly ignoring rules and processes.
I have a feeling that with Ryan out of government shortly, a new minister will just set a national level decision on this. Driving the decisions about nationally important infrastructure down to a county council is just a handy way to avoid having to take action yourself.
Was listening to an aviation focused podcast that mentioned this, and they noted that the cap related to traffic concerns. “They’ve only had 15 plus years to organise some sort of rail link to their airport since this cap was put on the books.”
The results of kick the can down the road politics.
I don’t know how DAA are getting away with this. Why isnt Fingal pulling them up on breach of planning?
If you or I did something in breach of planning we’d be hauled up over it.
