Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Irish Aviation Authority: Chairperson Designate
Mr. Diarmuid Ó Conghaile:
I do not necessarily agree with the Senator on that. First, the IAA did exercise safety oversight and there was a statutory basis for that oversight. As I said, there are a number of statutory instruments hanging out of the main Act and then orders or directions by the authority. There was, therefore, a statutory basis and we did exercise oversight.
