I will conclude on this issue. It strikes me that four people have lost their lives who were relying on equipment that did not reflect the maps the IAA had provided. Surely that cannot be allowed to be the case in the future. I will leave it at that for now and move on.

Ms Hynes clearly has an enormous amount of experience in aviation and the IAA is very lucky to have her as its chairperson. I do not think anybody is disputing that. She has great experience in aviation leasing and many other aspects of aviation, including her experience on various boards and so on. As a State, we are lucky she is there. I would like to know the breakdown of the 700 or so staff who are currently in the IAA. How many are going to AirNav Ireland and how many are staying with the authority?
