Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Aviation Sector: Discussion

Mr. Pat Dawson:

I want to add to Mr. Hackett's point about travel companies. There are many travel companies based outside of the State and they operate with a Dublin phone number and an Irish email address. Hundreds of thousands of people are involved in this and consumers find out at some stage that they are dealing with a company based in the UK, the Netherlands or wherever else. As we know, the legislation governing companies depends on where the company is based. These people then have to go to the Civil Aviation Authority in the UK or to the different authorities in Belgium, China or wherever else.
