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

Hildegarde Naughton (FG), Galway West

I have answered the question relating to this issue. I outlined the situation at the start. As I said, the Department of Transport has engaged technical expertise when required and does so when required. In addition, the Department is also undertaking a review of the approaches taken in other countries regarding how they contract technical expertise. This is an ongoing work, but the Senator can be assured that there is technical expertise in the Department and that there is access to it.
