Mr. Philip Hughes:

First, in respect of standard instrument departures at the airport, that is a matter for the airport operator. We do not have any role as such to play in that. It is usually the airport operator and the design of that is a matter for it.

Any deviation from that is an operational matter depending on the circumstances. Of course, the Irish Aviation Authority will monitor that, probably from a safety point of view. There are specific rules at International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO, level in terms of airspace design and instrument departures but that is really a matter for the airport authorities themselves.
