Mr. Maurice O'Connor:

In response to Senator Ó Céidigh, Ryanair is fully compliant with all EASA compliance and safety regulations. As I mentioned, a 24-month oversight programme is in place. We have gone from a 12-month to 24-month programme because there are involved, in-depth audits in it. That started in January of this year and we have absolute confidence that Ryanair is fully compliant with the regulations.

It is not in my remit to comment on pilots' contracts and so on and I will allow another witness to do so. However, our mandatory and voluntary reporting systems do not suggest a current trend or problem in that area.
