DAA secured permission from the High Court on 3 February 2021 to join Fingal County Council to proceedings seeking vacant possession of land occupied by Traveller families.

The land is in Collinstown, north Dublin, within the exclusion zone for a proposed new runway. DAA claims several members of the McAleer family have no entitlement to remain there, while the families deny wrongdoing and oppose the action. The judge adjourned the case until later that month.
