Incidents that happened many years ago can often be very relevant to safety today. We know that only too well from yesterday's Dáil debate. This is in everybody's interest. I know, from having discussed it in the past, that vetting is difficult. An event may have occurred since somebody was last vetted and if he or she is allowed to continue to use their current certificate then false reassurance has been given to the service that employs that person.
