Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2005
559 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Transport if ICAO standards exist in relation to runway end safety areas; if so, if he will outline such standards; if such standards have been applied at all of the runway ends at each of the State airports; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29035/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraAnnex 14 to the Chicago Convention specifies standards and recommended practices in respect of runway end safety areas. The Irish Aviation Authority licenses airports in the State and is responsible for regulation of the application of International Civil Aviation Organisation requirements.
I am advised by the authority that such areas are provided in respect of the runways at the State airports and I would recommend that the Deputy refers to the authority for the technical details of the annex requirements and the detailed implementation status of these areas to the runways at the above airports.
