I propose to take Questions Nos. 71, 72 and 73 together.
The matters raised are operational matters for the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). I have referred the Deputy's questions to the IAA for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to advise my private office if a reply is not received from the IAA within ten working days.
Question No. 72 answered with Question No. 71.
Question No. 73 answered with Question No. 71.
