I would hate to be sitting here in a month or six months, discussing an air tragedy in Ireland. There are red flags which have not even been reported in the news, which I find strange. Is it for fear of causing panic or people cancelling flights? It is not about that. It could be a major health and safety concern. We have an obligation and duty to act on it swiftly, so we do not end up with a disaster. We should not be a reactive society but should instead be as we are now, which is proactive. I second what the Cathaoirleach said. We should get that gentleman, Mr. O'Riordan, and those agencies in, whether or not it is on the same day. We should try to ensure we are not going to have a major incident.
