General Scheme of the Irish Aviation Authority (Amendment) Bill 2017: Discussion

10:00 am

Ms Andrea Lennon:

I will speak to the enforcement question. The IAA operates a scale system of enforcement actions. It can range from what Mr. Gavin described, where it is discussed with the entity and a rectification is sought but there can also be suspension or revocation of an entitlement such as a licence or certificate. There can also be summary prosecution. These are set out in the IAA state safety programme, which is on the website. It applies to safety regulation, as well as aviation security regulation. The proposal in front of us today will not change anything in that enforcement regime, it merely deals with the fees aspect.
