 Briefing for Visiting Pilots
Landings on runway 03 in such conditions may be complicated by curlover from the trees, and it is advisable to land in the area to the right (or east) of the windsock and runway, and thus further away from this curlover effect.
If it is not possible to land ahead in the airfield, the next field, immediately over the road, can be used.
We have a system in force by which we notify Baldonnel when we are operational, and further agree not to fly north of Naas or west of Naas motorway by-pass in R16 without prior telephone notification.

No airfield as such was operated by the Guinness company or family.
Larger aircraft owned or used by the G family used Kildonan Airfield (near Finglas, long gone) in the 1930's and probably Baldonnel Airfield also.
The family also had several Saro flying boats/amphibians in the 1930's - used to visit their properties on the west of Ireland, where they used the large lakes as landing fields in terrain that is rather bumpy and rocky, making airfields expensive to develop there.

Numerous private airfields dot the land, although most require PPR (always given with the utmost cordiality in my experience) and are usually devoid of facilities, other than a friendly and helpful owner or operator.
With the exception of Dublin, which has punitive charges for light aircraft, public airfields are also welcoming and accomodating.
Weston is sandwiched between the Dublin control zone and Baldonnel military airspace, with controlled airspace right overhead.

The secretary of the Portmarnock Community Association, Mr Brian Byrne, said the priority should be to maximise the use of the three existing runways at Dublin Airport, while the Government could also consider developing new airport facilities in areas such as Tullamore or Carlow which had good rail links to Dublin.

I've just received an email from a surfer who's visited my website, and he confirms that work has started on lengthening the runway to about twice its original length, and that new hangars are to be built by the end of the year.
Let's hope the airfield will remain GA-friendly and that light aircraft won't be squeezed out (or priced out) by the bizjets.
If the friendly atmosphere of the airfield can be preserved then the investment seems good news for the future of the airfield, which is an ideal GA airfield for visiting Dublin.
