Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The subject matter of this particular question, i.e. pilot training, is the responsibility of the Irish Aviation Authority, and I have referred the question to them for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten days.
