 | | Mr Jim Glennon TD (FF) said the Air Corps base in Gormanston, Co Meath - adjacent to the M1 motorway and the Dublin/Belfast rail line - should be developed to handle smaller aircraft. |
 | | Ms Angela Lawton, a committee member of Uproar - a group in Portmarnock opposing the runway development - said that consideration should be given to opening the military airfield at Baldonnel in west Dublin to civilian aircraft. |
 | | 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. |
