IAA
I would put forward another reason for the IAA being the way it is, they are sipmily out of their depth , they have too much work for a small authority , limmited experience outside Ireland and most of the inspectors are ex Ryanair and only see the Ryanair way of doing things.
Only when the IAA move into this century will they becom a component authority capable of managing the number of aircraft on the Irish registry.
This is not a corruption issue it is one of resources and modern aviation experience.
