Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Appointment Process for Chair of Irish Aviation Authority: Engagement with Department of Transport
Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I am a former chairperson of an Oireachtas committee. Would Mr. Towey accept that this process today and the appearance of any chairperson designate is a clear act of folly because we, as an Oireachtas committee, cannot say we have no confidence and cannot say we should not appoint and therefore there should be a review of the whole process whereby the person or persons should come before the committee to be vetted properly, not in a personal way but based on their policy, their approach and their qualifications?
