As the appeal process the Deputy refers to remains ongoing, I am limited in the information which I can disclose as this stage.

I can confirm that I received two submissions on behalf of staff of the Irish Aviation Authority. My officials have considered both submissions, and they are now with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, in accordance with the statutory process. My officials are engaging with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform as part of that process to further clarify some elements of the appeals.
