Minister @DarraghOBrienTD accepts DAA does not have the competence to put together a valid, complete, grantable planning application. So he proposes to change Irish law in breach of EU regulation! 🙄

Aircraft noise is one, if not the most detrimental environmental effect of aviation. It can cause community annoyance, disrupt sleep, adversely affect academic performance of children, & could increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. #NoisePollution pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC54…

DAA sends clear message to Oireachtas: As a state owned company we don't answer to you! No hint of accountability will be tolerated by employees of the Irish State and it's quangos! independent.ie/business/head-…

This is key. ICAO in many ways had been subverted over the years to become a beard for the aviation industry. It is UN in name with the cultivated appearance of independence but its committees are aviation industry personnel.

@syonist @icao @DarraghOBrienTD “Yet, the ICAO and the industry continue to point to pie-in-the-sky solutions like emission offsets, "sustainable" aviation fuels, and more fuel-efficient aircraft.” Worryingly we’re starting to hear about these pie-in-the-sky solutions from Gov Ministers who should know better

SSE Airtricity are to raise prices 9.5% calling it a "last resort" — their second "last resort" this year. They only made €108 million profit, so clearly they're struggling. 😠

@DarraghOBrienTD You mentioned on various media outlets today that there’s now certainty with the night flights decision after ACP’s decision in July Coincidentally today 3 separate JRs on this decision were granted leave to challenge this decision

I believe the technical term is "WTAF" North Cork Creameries, with its €211 million euro revenues & profits up by 48% pays the state tiny fines as a licence to pollute. What a joke.... Info below based on the superb reporting in the Irish Times by @ellamcsweeney
