Amendments Nos. 3 and 4 are technical amendments relating to the vesting of AirNav Ireland. Amendment No. 3 to section 14(3) of the Bill clarifies that the functions conferred on AirNav Ireland by the Bill, which are currently functions of the IAA, will transfer to AirNav Ireland on vesting day and not on commencement of the Act.

Amendment No. 4 deletes sections 19(2), 19(3) and 19(4) of the Bill, which relate to ministerial certification of the value of the property to be transferred to AirNav Ireland from the IAA on vesting day and the creation of a debt due by AirNav Ireland to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in respect of the transfer of property to AirNav Ireland from the IAA. These provisions replicate sections 19(2), 19(3) and 19(4) of the Irish Aviation Authority Act 1993. While they were relevant in the initial creation of the IAA in 1993 and 1994, they are no longer relevant.
