My concern was that the costs might be very high. I agree with Mr. Gallagher. I do not know the foundations of the figures that have been doing the rounds. I thank Mr. Gallagher for clarifying that aspect. I was concerned that the aviation industry might have been caught if there were significant costs was involved.

It appears it will be a very marginal cost and not be a significant one. I appreciate that feedback.

I would make one further point about it and I raised this at a previous meeting on this issue. My sense is that Commission for Aviation Regulation, CAR, is currently pretty stretched. It would need significant resources to take on this extra responsibility. As Mr. Gallagher said, there will be a transition period. It will not be like switching on a light. There will be some degree of overlap from the IAA to the CAR and possibly a transition of staff because the knowledge and skill set is already there. I am not sure if Mr. Gallagher would like to comment on that?
