‹ Order of Business Defibrillators on short-haul flights
Summary
Dessie Ellis asks whether legislation will require defibrillators on short-haul flights; the Taoiseach says consultation continues and will seek an update from the Transport Minister.
Are there any plans to include in forthcoming legislation the Irish Aviation Authority safety measures on short-haul flights Bill, which will include the compulsory carrying of a defibrillator? Long-haul flights carry them but short-haul ones do not. There was a tragedy recently between here and Spain where a defibrillator was required.
