Recent Air Corps Developments: Discussion

Mr. Rory O'Connor:
It depends on their qualifications. Even if the most qualified controllers from Dublin Airport comes along, they still have to go through a period of training to get an endorsement to operate in Baldonnel, given the nature of our airspace. People cannot just walk from one control organisation into another. An element of training is always required in that regard. There is a transfer of the skill set.
