Mr. Brian Kealy:

To clarify, it was decided to look at whether bonding should be done. Ultimately, the decision was not to go ahead with it. The reason was apparently that flight training companies would just not operate in Ireland if that was the case. I am not sure on what basis that was decided, because we made a freedom of information request where we saw a report that the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA, gave to the Department indicating that it believed it was something that should be seriously looked at.
