Mr. Diarmuid Ó Conghaile:

To go back to what I said, in terms of the responsibilities of the State and the IAA to produce charts, we fulfil those. Those charts are extant. They are up to date and they are accurate.

The IAA is not and cannot be responsible for ensuring that every geographical feature on those maps is rendered into third party databases. The third party databases are provided by contractors who themselves are approved, not by the IAA but by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, EASA.

Of course, parking for a moment the direct and immediate responsibilities of the IAA, if we look at this from a broader context what is important for Ireland Inc. is to ensure that these missions are undertaken safely. As I said, there are 42 recommendations to improve the safety performance.
