Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 June 2018
505. Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason for the delay in setting up a body to assist whistleblowers in the civil aviation industry as required under EU regulation 376/2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26695/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy points out, EU Regulation 376/2014 requires each Member State to make provisions for a new confidential reporting system for civil aviation. I can advise the Deputy that my Department is engaged with the Irish Aviation Authority - which has statutory responsibility for civil aviation safety oversight in Ireland - on how best to implement the Regulation to ensure that we put in place as soon as possible a robust, trusted and confidential system that will work across the industry.
