Good to see the IAA are getting more professional after some internal changes.

A couple of years ago there were three serious incidents at Dublin including an aircraft landing over an unseen gang mower and an executive jet diving after take off to miss a crossing chopper. The latter incident was caused by misleading ATC com to the PPL who assumed the aircraft who he was cleared to cross behind was the landing one (terminology "rolling aircraft").
These incidents should have resulted in an overhaul as the two recent ground collisions have done.

I posted here after the channel 4 program on FR which led too the dismissal of John Goss who had criticized the authority; I was informed of a witch hunt at the following Gasci meeting to discover my identity.
A pure coincidence, I am sure, but I received a letter from the revenue investigation branch a month later.
Fortunately I'm not as stupid as whoever contacted them.
Glad that they appear to be getting their act together.
