If I read this correctly the Minister does deal with the cargo aircraft that would come through the airport, which have non-military capacity etc. There are opinions that extraordinary rendition has been happening on aeroplanes that have passed through Shannon. From the point of view of the cargo aircraft coming through, how can the Minister and his officials be sure that extraordinary rendition has not happened on any of the cargo flights that have come through Shannon? How can he reassure the petitioner that is not happening on the Minister's watch?
