Derek Nolan: Given that this relates to the pensions of the Commissioner for Aviation Regulation and his staff, has the Department not been asked the reason for the delay of ten years? The position is highly unsatisfactory for the commission and its staff.

Derek Nolan: Perhaps Mr. Guiomard will write to the Department stating that the Committee of Public Accounts is interested to ascertain the reason it is taking so long to finalise the pension arrangements.

Derek Nolan: The cash balance of the commission is approximately €1.8 million. Is this the buffer to which Mr. Guiomard referred when he spoke of trying to create a buffer rather than increasing levies?

Derek Nolan: I asked the question based not on reports in the press but correspondence from the commission, which does not reflect Mr. Guiomard's statement. While Mr. Guiomard certainly shows professionalism, the wording of the responses one receives from the commission show a certain lack of professionalism. This seems to stem from the 2009 price review. I will not question that process given that it...

Derek Nolan: On the correspondence between the commission and Ryanair, the latter has asked the committee to investigate a number of issues and it would be remiss of me not to put the questions raised by Ryanair to Mr. Guiomard while he is before us. My questions on the DAA price increases and declines in passenger traffic have been answered. Ryanair maintains that the commission is overstaffed. It...

Derek Nolan: Mr. O'Leary is very critical of the commission's decision to license Aer Arann as a financially fit company when it was in financial trouble. How does Mr. Guiomard respond to that criticism?

Derek Nolan: I understand that. The levy is per passenger. Has the amount charged per passenger changed? I accept the number of passengers has fallen, and therefore income has fallen, but has the amount charged per passenger increased or decreased in the period of the reduction?

Derek Nolan: Yes, the amount has reduced.
