Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-11-09
============================================================

Hildegarde Naughton (FG), Galway West

Amendments Nos. 1 and 2 are Government amendments which clarify that AirNav Ireland has a function in the provision of aeronautical rescue co-ordination. The purpose of technical amendments Nos. 1 and 2 is to make clear that AirNav Ireland would have the vires to provide aeronautical rescue co-ordination for search and rescue services as per annex 12 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, the Chicago convention. As Senators will recall, Schedule 2 to the Bill, as amended, provides that the new IAA will be responsible for oversight of the provision of aeronautical rescue co-ordination for search and rescue services by AirNav Ireland.
