Thank you, Ms. Fahy.

I have a few questions for the Secretary General of the Department. He is to give us a report on the airstrips but I wish to ask a few questions about them. Was a feasibility study done before the money was spent on them? Where was this project instigated? Whose idea was it to have the airstrips, who initiated it?
