Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Irish Aviation Authority: Chairperson Designate
Gerard Craughwell (Independent) | Oireachtas source
At this stage I am happy enough the IAA will now have oversight and will be proactive in its oversight. I am a little concerned the charts and maps that are provided to aeronautical companies can be scanned incorrectly. It appears from the report that that seems to have been a problem. Four navigation systems, from what I can recall, failed on that day. I am sure the IAA has plenty of work and I would think Mr. Ó Conghaile has plenty of work ahead of him to put all these things right. I hope he will be able to report back to the committee in the near future to let us know we have put things right and minimised the possibility of accidents into the future.
