I copied this of the IAA website. Hmm.
Some safety regulation.
Welcome to the Irish Aviation Authority site.
The Board and Staff of the Irish Aviation Authority are committed to providing efficient and cost-effective safety regulation of the Irish aviation industry and to providing, on a sound commercial basis, safe, efficient and cost-effective air navigation services which meet the needs of our customers.
The Authority aims to be a world leader in its field.
The operational services include the provision of air traffic management, engineering and communications in airspace controlled by Ireland and the provision of the related air traffic technological infrastructure. The regulatory services include aircraft airworthiness certification and registration; the licensing of personnel and organisations involved in the maintenance of aircraft as well as the licensing of pilots and aerodromes. Also included is the approval and surveillance of air carrier operating standards and of general aviation. The IAA also provides international training and consultancy services worldwide.
The IAA ensures that Irish civil aviation operates to safety standards set internationally, principally by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), Eurocontrol, the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) and the European Union.
