The petitioners have suggested – I use the word “suggested” deliberately – that the European Parliament, Council of Europe and Amnesty International are among the bodies that have published reports that indicate rendition planes have landed at Shannon Airport. I completely understand the separation of responsibilities between the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. A very specific observation has been made on what has happened. I refer to the original petition document. The Minister may not have the answer at this point because it may be more appropriate to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. However, he may have come across it.
