Patrick O'Donovan (Limerick, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

With the agreement of members I ask the clerk to the committee to liaise with the Chairman to schedule the hearing as soon as possible.

I thank the Irish Aviation Authority for their attendance. I acknowledge the presence of people in the Public Gallery who are affected by this. I assure the committee we will revert to this in the near future. We take on board the suggestions made by the IAA for the conduct of an inquiry.

I propose the suspension of the sitting to allow the officials from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and the Coast Guard to take their seats.
