Ms Andrea Lennon:

For aviation security, the unannounced visit is very important and it is carried out quite a bit. The rate of inspections relates to an ongoing assessment by the IAA under the national quality control programme I mentioned. This is reviewed continuously. It is decided on a risk basis, perhaps depending on how compliant the entity has been in the past, whether it needs repeat visits and how frequently these should be repeated.

This is something that is changing all the time and is being assessed all the time by the Irish Aviation Authority.
