Ms Caroline Phelan:

In respect of the 15%, the category of dangerous goods is very broad. The procedure for dealing with those goods that are being carried on civilian aircraft is that an application is made to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Support for an exemption to carry the items. The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport consults a number of Departments, including the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, with regard to those goods. The category of goods covers a broad range of items from explosives to nitrogen to gas canisters. In other words, it covers anything that the International Civil Aviation Organisation, ICAO, classifies as being dangerous.
