Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has statutory responsibility for the regulation of safety of civil aviation in Ireland.

The issues raised  are operational matters for the IAA.  I have referred the Deputy's question to them for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
