For example, a cleaner in Shannon Airport could be sent in to clean an aeroplane for some reason, only to see somebody shackled aboard the aeroplane. If, out of a fear or worry that this person's rights were being impugned, the cleaner then reported this to the authorities on the ground in Shannon Airport, Mr. Burgess essentially is telling me that even if the Government wished to intervene, it could not do so because of the sovereign immunity on that aeroplane. I ask this question to be clear.
