The Irish Aviation Authority conducts regulatory oversight activities in relation to all licensed aerodromes within the State. All licensed aerodromes have in place a safety management system for the management of safety at their aerodrome which is reviewed and audited by the Irish Aviation Authority.

I am advised by the IAA that all construction projects, including runway pavement overlays, are assessed as part of the aerodrome's safety management system and suitable procedures are developed by the aerodrome licensee on a case by case basis to manage safety during construction.
