The Bill provides for the formation of a company to be known as the Irish Air Navigation Service and for the transfer of certain commercial functions from the Irish Aviation Authority to the new company, and for the transfer of regulatory functions of the Commission for Aviation Regulation to the Irish Aviation Authority and the dissolution of the Commission for Aviation Regulation. On that day, the Minister of State admitted that external advice was only obtained to insert the regulatory functions that the Minister of State was bringing to this Bill and that she relied solely on the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA, with regard to inserting new regulatory functions around peer support, the licenceholders' forum and the licenceholders' charter.
All Irish airlines have a peer support programme in place and the IAA has audited all peer support programmes as per the EASA requirements.
