Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Irish Aviation Authority: Chairperson Designate

5:10 pm

Ms Anne Nolan:

Perhaps. The chief executives of those bodies and the chief executive of the IAA work closely and if there are lessons to be learned about how we managed it I am sure they will take them on board.

Civil aviation refers to non-military aviation and it is a matter for the Government. The IAA has no role in it and it is a matter for the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. Perhaps that answer has been heard from other people. We have no role in the Shannon military issue.
