The Minister is correct that none of them is Irish, and it is an incredibly comprehensive report which is not about blame but very much about learning lessons. The complex arrangement and crew conditions were identified as a contributing factor to this tragic accident, as the Minister has indicated. I am not interested in blaming anybody. In an Irish context, does the Irish Aviation Authority or somebody else oversee the contracts of flight crew in Ireland? There have been reports of some Norwegian companies seeking air operator certificates from Ireland and using this State as a flag of convenience in that regard. In such a context, is the IAA responsible for overseeing the contracts of flight crew?
