My flight left the next afternoon and DIDN'T take off from the new North runway.....I asked the pilot why when we landed and they explained due to the 40min delay to the flight we missed the 3pm switch by 10mins, and that was that. I really hope that the investment will be worth it in terms of less congestion at peak times and an increase in passenger numbers. Now, if only they'd get that train spur built from Howth Junction.
