Appointment Process for Chair of Irish Aviation Authority: Engagement with Department of Transport
Mr. Fintan Towey:
I think that is a separate question. The role of the Irish Aviation Authority in respect of Shannon is to ensure that it reaches all the necessary safety and security standards. That is the focus of the IAA. The board has broad oversight responsibilities for regulation across all airports and airlines. Therefore, I do not see issues there.
