The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) is responsible for air navigation and air traffic management in Ireland, as provided for under the Irish Aviation Authority Act 1993. I have referred the Deputy's question to the IAA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
