Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Irish Air Navigation Service: Chairperson Designate
Mr. Bryan Bourke:
Safety is always the absolute priority and must take precedence over commercial gain. It was not the case during the pandemic for obvious reasons but the business is profitable again. The piece that is a bit different now is we are expected to look towards other commercial opportunities and it is early days with that. I touched on that earlier because there has been a lot of bedding in and governance. The management team is working on that. However, this can never distract from the safety piece. I am hugely impressed by the focus on safety. The management's dedication to safety will not be distracted by the pursuit of commercial gain.
