Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: From the Seanad
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-30
============================================================

Hildegarde Naughton (FG), Galway West

Amendment Nos. 3 and 4 related to the process of the vesting of AirNav Ireland. Amendment No. 3 amends section 14 to clarify that the functions conferred on AirNav Ireland by this Bill, which are currently functions of the IAA, will transfer to AirNav Ireland on the vesting day of AirNav Ireland and not on the commencement of the Bill.
Amendment No. 4 amends section 19 of the Bill to delete subsections 2, 3 and 4, which replicate subsections 2, 3 and 4 of section 19 of the Irish Aviation Authority Act 1993. These provisions were relevant in 1993 when the IAA was being formed from the then Department of Transport, Energy and Communications. They are no longer relevant because assets are being transferred between State bodies - the new IAA and AirNav Ireland - and not between the Minister and a State body.
