The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has statutory responsibility for aviation safety regulation in Ireland, including the regulation of warning lights on communications masts, as provided for under the Irish Aviation Authority Act, 1993.
Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the IAA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
