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

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

I totally support my colleague, Senator Doherty, on this. I would be extremely uncomfortable when the IAA appointing its own chairperson. This amendment makes perfect sense and would make for a far more democratic organisation from the outset. In light of the fact that the Minister of State will have to go back to Dáil Éireann with this Bill anyway because of the amendments that have been made, I ask the Minister of State to take on this one amendment. The Minister of State has been extremely co-operative so far and I would ask her to consider this also.
