Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

European Aviation Safety Authority Regulations: Discussion with Irish Airline Pilots' Association

10:20 am

Captain Evan Cullen:

One of my difficulties is that the lack of whistleblower legislation in this country has held us back. The IAA is not covered by the Freedom of Information Act nor is it subject to the Ombudsman. We have run up against these issues and I wish I could provide further information, but I would be in trouble if I did so.
