Mr. Brian Kealy:

Going back into the history books, there was one called the European College of Aeronautics, which was based in Cork Airport. It went out of business in 1992. I was not aware of issues going back that far but it was attached to the response to a freedom of information request we put in requesting documents from the IAA.

Another company, Cabair International, UK, went out of business approximately one year before the Pilot Training College of Ireland went out of business. As I mentioned earlier, one of the trainers in the IAA told me that when he was undergoing training in Scotland, the pilot training college he was attending went bust and he lost money. Unfortunately, it is pretty common.
