Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I welcome you all back. Apologies that the bells did not ring. Members might indulge me for a moment because I am conscious we are facing into an extremely busy parliamentary schedule with a number of very important items of business over the next number of weeks. Before we begin today's session, however, it would be remiss of me as Ceann Comhairle not to make a few remarks on the issue of...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aviation Trends, Air Traffic Control and Drone Activity: Discussion (18 Sep 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: I am sorry that I missed some of Mr. Hughes’ presentation. I had to step out for a minute. I thank him for attending and for his detailed presentation. I will pick up on a couple of points. Mr. Hughes talked about the opportunity to deliver efficiencies and he referenced datalink and the systems. One thing we hear from the airlines themselves, and I might have the terminology...

Darren O'Rourke: Are there efficiencies to be delivered with open skies?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aviation Trends, Air Traffic Control and Drone Activity: Discussion (18 Sep 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: I refer to working towards the efficiency of the network and bringing it up to a standard, taking that and putting it into an Irish context. The debate is a very live one at the minute because of Dublin Airport's cap. I heard the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, on the radio last week or the week before talking about capacity at Shannon Airport or the regional airports. Does Eurocontrol...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aviation Trends, Air Traffic Control and Drone Activity: Discussion (18 Sep 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: If the State was updating or reviewing its national aviation policy, does it not automatically consult with Eurocontrol?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aviation Trends, Air Traffic Control and Drone Activity: Discussion (18 Sep 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: In terms of design, Mr. Hughes mentioned airspace redesign, the design of flight paths or the efficient use of flight paths, and we have a specific issue at Dublin Airport related to military airspace. Does Eurocontrol have a role or how is that co-ordinated at European Union level to maximise efficiency and take all of those considerations into account to get the best possible result?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Aviation Trends, Air Traffic Control and Drone Activity: Discussion (18 Sep 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: I will continue on the same point. We have seen it in many other arenas. The technology advances, often on the back of military adventure, and it is now happening at scale. For us on the politics and policy side, the question is how to manage and regulate it, because without doubt, the potential of the technology will increase exponentially.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Minimum Wage: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Sep 2024)
Mick Barry: I am a supporter of this legislation. At the outset I will say - this might be a controversial point to make - that a company which cannot survive unless it pays people 30%, 20% or 10% below the minimum wage should not be in business. If it can only survive on the basis of that level of exploitation, it should not be in business. That is my view. I have three points to make. I will try...
