The Minister of State said we have the same laws in Ireland as we do across the EU. I wish to put on the record that the inconsistency of the import of those laws is the reason we are all standing here having this conversation today. There is no uniformity of the import of the regulations of EASA. There is certainly no uniformity in the regulation of the IAA.

I very much welcome the Minister of State's commitment today to establishing a national peer support programme, however, and her commitment this morning that her door is always open. On that basis, I will withdraw my amendment specifically to work during the summer months to put forward one that gives the Minister of State the information that she said she does not have today regarding financing arrangements and how a national peer support programme would work.
