I propose to take Questions Nos. 243 and 244 together.

The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has statutory responsibility for safety regulation of civil aviation under the 1993 Irish Aviation Authority Act. The Dublin Airport Authority has statutory responsibility for the operation of the State Airports under the State Airports Act 2004. The matters referred to by the Deputy are appropriate to the operational remit of both of these Bodies. I have no function in the day to day running of either of these Bodies.
