1068. Deputy Ann Graves asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation whether Dublin Airport Authority’s exemption from the freedom of information act remains appropriate given that it operates the State's largest airport and its decisions on flight path design, noise mitigation, and capacity directly affect the health and welfare of approximately 30,000 residents (details supplied); whether AirNav Ireland, established in April 2023 as part of the same restructuring, is subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2014; if not the statutory basis on which it is exempt; whether he is aware that DAA is also exempt from oversight by the Office of the Ombudsman; whether he considers it consistent with Ireland's obligations under the Aarhus Convention that the body which operates Dublin Airport is exempt from freedom of information, exempt from Ombudsman oversight, and yet makes decisions on flight path design, noise mitigation, and capacity that directly affect the health and welfare of approximately 30,000 residents with no independent accountability mechanism available to them; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
