I propose to take Questions Nos. 71, 72 and 73 together.

The matters raised are operational matters for the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA).I have referred the Deputy's questions to the IAA for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to advise my private office if a reply is not received from the IAA within ten working days.
