Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 December 2014
609. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of serious incidents reported by the Irish Aviation Authority in 2013 and to date in 2014; if he is satisfied that the current resources allocated to the IAA are sufficient; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46313/14]
View answerThe question raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). I have forwarded his request to the IAA for direct reply. If he does not receive a reply within the next ten days he should contact my private office directly.
The IAA is a commercial semi-State company; it does not receive any State funding. It is a matter for the Board and management of the IAA on how best to allocate the resources it has available at any given time in order to perform its statutory functions.
