No problem. My second question relates to the horrific experience meted out to a worker called Ebo Turkson. I have read a Garda statement which details the most horrific circumstances of this case. Ken Fleming has spoken about the fact that this guy was put into a survival suit and dumped into the sea, having previously been subjected to horrific abuse. For example, he was called a "black b------" and told to "get the f--- out of here". The skipper told him he did not "give a f---". Frankly, I am not prepared to repeat some of the horrendous stuff that happened to this injured man.
