Dublin Airport
15 May 2025
Dublin Airport hopes that the delivery of improved viewing facilities for the public to watch planes take off and land on the airport's runways will be able to progress after it provided Fingal County Council with additional information regarding a proposal submitted by daa last year.
daa's proposal is to significantly enhance the site of the current informal airport viewing point on Old Airport Road, locally known as "The Mound". The site is fully owned by Dublin Airport and the construction of the free-to-access facility would be paid for by daa as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting and working with the local community.
daa made an initial planning application to Fingal County Council last year and was requested to submit further information regarding aspects of the proposed development, which it has now done.
Additional information provided by daa includes: an agreement to relocate bicycle parking facilities on the site; details of the materials that would be used in construction; and answers to other questions posed by the planning authority regarding the decision to include/not include certain amenities within the development.
