Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 May 2023
188. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Transport if he will engage with a trade union (details supplied) concerning the vesting day on the separation of the Irish Aviation Authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21351/23]
View answerWith effect from 1 May 2023 the air navigation functions of the Irish Aviation Authority have transferred to a newly established, separate commercial semi-state company, AirNav Ireland.
As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for the development of policy in relation to airspace and air navigation matters. Engagement with any trade union is an internal IR matter, for AirNav Ireland, the employees and the trade unions concerned. I have, therefore, forwarded the Deputy's question to AirNav Ireland in the first instance for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
