Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 September 2026
256. Deputy Denise Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport if there are any plans to review and broaden access to the Residential Sound Insulation Grant Scheme (RSIGS) for homes experiencing noise disruption due to the increase in night-time flights at Dublin Airport. [68303/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI want to begin by assuring the Deputy that it is important to this Government in ensuring the sustainable development of Dublin Airport, to balance the legitimate rights of local residents who are concerned about noise levels at the airport, with the objectives of the National Aviation Policy, and the needs of business and tourism.
That said, it is important to note that, as Minister, I do not have a role in determining the criteria for the insulation or buy-out schemes operated by daa.
As the Residential Sound Insulation Grant Scheme falls within the remit of daa, I have forwarded your question to daa for direct response. Please advise my private office if you have not received a reply within 10 working days.
