Mr. Evan Cullen:

We represent 1,200 pilots here on the island. That is the overwhelming majority of pilots in Ireland. I accept the point the Chairman is going to make, which is that there are an awful lot of pilots across the globe who have Irish licences. I would turn that back on him and ask why there are so many aircraft on the Irish register. Why are there so many aircraft on the Irish register that never enter Irish airspace and never touch down in Ireland? Why is that? You have to come to one conclusion. They are not registering here because the Irish Aviation Authority is the toughest regulator in town.
