Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Aviation Authority: Chairperson Designate (24 Nov 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Aviation Authority: Chairperson Designate (24 Nov 2021)

Kieran O'Donnell: The Senator may make a recommendation to the committee that we write to the Minister on that particular point. It is a very good suggestion.
