I move amendment No. 1:

In page 12, lines 11 and 12, to delete “an tSeirbhis Aerloingseoireachta na hÉireann” and substitute “Seirbhís AerLoingseoireachta na hÉireann”.

Amendments Nos. 1 and 26 are technical amendments to section 10 and the Long Title of the Bill, simply making the Irish spelling of the service provider consistent throughout the Bill. Amendment No. 2 provides that the IANS may describe itself as Air Nav Ireland or ANI, which will assist the company to develop its commercial branding into a strong, unique and recognisable identity. The use of IANS, while suitable for the legislative provisions of the Bill, may not have a strong enough impact in the commercial world. The Finnish air navigation service provider describes itself as Fintraffic, while in Denmark it is Naviair and in Norway it is Avinor. Using Air Nav Ireland or ANI, as proposed, will support the new company in exploiting its commercial opportunities, while still retaining the official name of the company and its Irish form.
