Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-16
============================================================

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

I am terribly sorry. It is clear from the air accident investigation unit, AAIU, report on Rescue 116 that "The Minister for Transport should ensure that the Department has sufficient specialist aviation expertise to enable it to discharge effective oversight of the full range of IAA activities". This Bill is about regulating the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA. I need to know who is the aviation expert who is advising on this Bill before we progress it.
