This matter falls within the day-to-day operational responsibilities of the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA), in which I have no function. While I am responsible for policy issues in relation to Irish aviation generally, the day to day operation and management of airports is a matter for the relevant airport authority.

The family was in touch with my Department on a number of occasions in relation to this matter and replies explaining the situation were issued. I understand from the DAA that they have investigated the incident and that the management of the authority has corresponded with the family and that meetings have taken place to discuss the matter.
