Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-14
============================================================

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

If we are going to proceed with the Bill today, which I believe is ill-advised, I am going to make my points.
Article 2.6 of the EASA basic regulation allows the Minister to opt in to certain provisions, activities and organisations. This is relevant, but with regard to sections 67 and 76, we have to give consideration to whether they reflect state-of-the-art and best practices in the field of aviation. This is what I mean when I speak about a select committee of the Seanad having experts available to it.
