Trevor Sargent

Question:

45 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he will ensure that suitably qualified specialists are employed to carry out inspections on aviation engine overhaul industries applying for licences, in view of the size and importance of this sector in the Irish economy and internationally; and if he will ensure that his inspectorate is independent and experienced in each technological field as is the case in the UK where the CAA employ specialists.

We are satisfied that the personnel in our Department, who are employed to carry out inspections, on aviation engine overhaul industries, are fully qualified to carry out their statutory functions, which are in accordance with International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) regulations.
