On 21 April 2009, following consultation with all interested parties, the Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) of the Department of Transport published a Synoptic Final Report into a Serious Incident concerning an MD-83 aircraft near Dublin Airport on 16 August 2007. The Investigation of this Serious Incident was conducted in accordance with the Annex 13 provisions to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation. Consequently, the AAIU is satisfied that all significant factors relating to the occurrence were addressed in the Report. The warning system referred to by the Deputy's correspondence was in fact considered by the Investigation and was not a factor in the occurrence. I am advised that the AAIU responded to the correspondent within 24 hours of his initial query and will respond further to him in writing when required information becomes available.
