Legislation to lift the passenger cap at Dublin Airport is signed into law by President Catherine Connolly, following action by the Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien, according to reports. The law changes the existing limit of 32 million passengers per year for the airport. Under the new provisions, the government is given authority to amend or revoke the airport’s passenger-cap arrangement. TheJournal.ie reports that the legislation allows government to modify or remove the cap, while RTE News (Ireland) states that the minister moves to lift passenger numbers at Dublin Airport after the President signs the new law. Both outlets describe the passenger limit as an annual cap of 32 million and present the signing as the formal step that enables subsequent changes to passenger-number restrictions. The reports do not specify when the cap will be amended or how any revised limit would be set, focusing instead on the legal approval and the government’s resulting powers.
