25. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if a recent audit by the Irish Aviation Authority has resulted in a recalibration of security equipment at Dublin Airport and greater numbers being put through additional passenger security checks; the additional workload this has added; the response to same; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) conducts oversight activities, including inspections and audits, of airports, air carriers, cargo companies, airport suppliers and the suppliers of in-flight services. In addition Irish airports are subject to periodic inspections by the European Commission. My Department receives regular reports on the results of oversight activities but the Deputy will appreciate that we can not comment on security matters.
