Mr. James Courtney:

In 2014 when the regulations were written, they mentioned "any calendar year". We subsequently met the European Commission and the EASA for discussions in late 2015 and early 2016 when they wanted harmonisation across the European Union. We agreed with them that all Irish airlines would be required to change to a calendar year of January to December. There were just two in Ireland that had a calendar year of April to March.
