Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department does not hold any contracts with the Indra Group. My Department provided the following information in response to PQ 40427/26 on 27th May 2026, and no further contracts have been entered into since that date. AirNav Ireland confirms that it has a contract with a subsidiary of the Indra Group, namely Indra Navia AS. The contract relates to the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and support of Instrument Landing Systems (ALS) at Dublin, Shannon, and Cork airports (the three State airports). The contract was originally awarded by the IAA prior to the establishment of AirNav in June 2020 and was transferred to AirNav on 1 May 2023.
The project is ongoing and no elements of the project have been abandoned, paused or placed on hold. There are no reported cost overruns or delivery overruns in respect of this contract. The contract value is €2,827,247.03 (exclusive of VAT).
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including Next Generation Ticketing and, in collaboration with Iarnród Éireann, the National Train Control Centre.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct, detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten days.
I have also referred the question to TII for direct reply. If the Deputy has not heard from TII within 10 working days please contact my office directly.
