Mr. Diarmuid Ó Conghaile:

The AAIU report deals with this comprehensively. It indicates exactly which navigational sources did and did not contain the information and makes recommendations for the correction of that. Fundamentally what the Deputy is saying is right. We produce a set of charts; it is the obligation of the State to produce them. They are VFR - for use in visual flying conditions. Obviously in this case it was nighttime and moreover the visibility conditions were poor. The databases bring in that information. That is a separate process for which the IAA is not responsible.
