We are talking about a country with which we have strong and positive relations. It gives us assurance and we are entitled to accept that as a consequence of the relationship we have with it. If somebody has reasonable evidence that the assurance is ill-founded, it should be supplied to the relevant body. I could not be stronger in my condemnation of rendition. I have already described it as the illegal detention of an individual. If anybody has evidence that it has actually happened in our territory, it is a very serious matter, and the relevant information should be supplied to the Garda.
