Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

H.E. Mr. Yuriy Filatov:

Yes, he seems to be all right. He is free and making some press statements. I am not the judge of him but I would refer you to the ICAO report. This is something that we initially suggested as the best way to handle the whole affair. ICAO is a respectable, independent body of experts across the world and I have no hesitation about trusting that.
