Aviation Bill 2005 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages.
7:00 pm
Pat Gallagher (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)
The Senator was referring to the detention and sale which is not part of the amendments. With respect to him, I know he and his colleagues were concerned about that issue. With the Cathaoirleach's permission, and I hope I am not speaking out of order, I wish to reassure him that I have introduced nothing new into this Bill. Several leasing companies have voiced their concerns on this point. We took advice from the Irish Aviation Authority, Eurocontrol and the Dublin Airport Authority, all of which said we should maintain the status quo since 1998. There is nothing new here.
