Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not believe I stated inspections had never been carried out. I said the powers under section 33 of the Air Navigation and Transport Act 1988 had never been used by officials of my Department. I cannot state whether the Garda has ever used these or other powers available to it. Where investigations have ensued, files have been submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions. Further action was not warranted in any of the cases investigated. This was because there was no evidence of unlawful activity.
