Longer-term development proposals for the overall site include the development of Terminal 3 for the airport. However, the council has refused planning permission to the cargo scheme on five grounds including that the scheme may prejudice the development of a third terminal (T3) for Dublin Airport. The council refused planning permission after a submission from operator DAA raised a number of concerns over the proposal.
