Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I am still somewhat confused. I obviously accept that due diligence was not done and that we had systems that were not fit for purpose.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: This is literally to ensure this international best practice and nobody is giving the witnesses an answer about why this cannot be in primary legislation. People say that it is an EU competence or such. Germany has no problem in setting up a proper peer group system.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Mr. Brereton does not believe the Department of Transport can make the call because it has stated it does not have the expertise. I will move on. I thank Mr. Cullen and Mr. Brereton. That was incredibly informative. Beyond that, we have serious work to do.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Even in a perfect system, it makes sense to check and review constantly and have a feedback loop. One checks, fixes the mistakes and moves on, the result being that everything is better and everybody is safer. In fairness to the Chairman and others, this committee has said it has a body of work to do in chasing up and getting better answers. Is there anything else the delegates need us to...
