The cabinet has approved legislation to remove the Dublin Airport passenger cap.

Proposals were brought to the meeting by the Transport Minister, and he's hopeful the law can be enacted before the Dáil's summer recess.

This is despite noise worries from local residents and environmental concerns from campaigners.

The Dublin Airport operator has welcomed the action taken by Government to remove the passenger cap.

It says the legislation rightly recognises the airport's role in supporting economic growth, connectivity and jobs across the state.

DAA is looking forward to engaging constructively with Ministers and other stakeholders.
