Mr. Fintan Towey:

The obligation that applies to carriers is not differentiated by reference to airports. Anybody who is carrying a person into the country aboard an aircraft has the same obligation to ensure they meet the legal obligations. I am not in a position to say whether the case of a person flying his or her own aircraft is covered. That may not be covered, unless, of course, it is the personal obligation of travelling to Ireland that applies equally. In terms of the checking arrangements that apply at smaller airfields, such as Weston, obviously, turboprop planes are very small, but I am not sure what border control measures are deployed there.
