Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Irish Aviation Authority: Chair Designate

9:30 am

Mr. Michael McGrail:

I will supply details of my aviation experience to the committee. In terms of the rankings, in the footnotes to my presentation, I set out the sources of the rankings, which are independent. On the Deputy's specific question - she must accept that I have only been in this role for three weeks - from my discussions with the IAA, I believe that every complaint received by the IAA is assessed.

I understand there have been specific complaints from Ryanair and that they have been assessed. I do not have the detail of that at this stage but as chair I believe it would be critical that all complaints received in regard to aviation safety will be properly assessed and discussed. As I said, I do not have the specific details of that. I know complaints have been received but, as I understand it, they have been dealt with.
