My concerns are that IALPA still has a preference for a licenceholders' forum but one of its issues concerns the requirement to hold meetings. We have received correspondence from the Irish Aviation Authority which does not give information on whether there will be regular meetings, how often meetings will be held or if they are mandated to be held at certain times. What IALPA is looking for is that the amendment would specify a maximum time between meetings of the forum and the right of a stakeholder to request that the forum be convened if a stakeholder has a reason to request that the forum examine a critical or time-constrained issue. That is not addressed in the Government's amendment but is addressed in amendment No. 1. The Minister of State might respond to that.
