If I may intervene, the enhanced ground proximity warning system, EGPWS, is what I was angling towards. I respect the point about the visual flying charts. It was specifically the EGPWS which was referenced in the air accident report and which was referenced on multiple occasions in the Dáil Chamber. Where the IAA functionality ties into that, I refer to the deficiencies, how the IAA hopes to address it and, more important, the timeframe because there are many pilots taking to the skies each night wondering whether the kind of terrain mapping that was needed that night out at Blackrock is now in place or when will it be in place.
