A protest is underway at Dublin Airport after locals claimed the opening of the new north runway has had a negative impact on the area.
The residents say their children are suffering from sleep deprivation, which is affecting their educational potential and overall wellbeing.
There have been many complaints about noise levels and flight paths since the opening of the new North Runway in 2022.
The Airport operator is under pressure from Ryanair boss, Michael O'Leary, to expand the airport's passenger cap from 32 million to 40 million.
In response, the DAA says the North Runway is closed between 11pm and 7am each night.
According to the DAA, the organisation has met more than 10 times with representatives of local communities over the last 12 months.
The DAA also said that Dublin Airport's Community Engagement team has made weekly visits to the homes of residents impacted by airport operations to listen to their concerns and discuss available solutions.
