Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association

Mr. Alan Brereton:

A point was made about the impact of that map and the just culture. Just culture suggests that we should be able to highlight something like this, get a receptive audience, and that change should happen. It was said earlier that this is frightening. Our objective here is not to frighten people. We deal daily with things that people would consider scary. Regarding how we operate, if one identifies a threat or risk, one should come up with a plan to mitigate that risk. Regarding what Senator Craughwell said earlier, we are constantly looking for ways to make things safer. It is how we are trained. We can identify risks in the culture of Irish aviation. We need our amendments in primary legislation because we have seen in the past that a culture can be allowed to prevail where we can be ignored. We have been ignored often about many matters. Unfortunately, we have been found to be right with regard to many issues we have raised.
