Is the Minister not concerned that, on that day, air traffic control at Dublin, the airport at which President Zelenskyy landed, was not made aware of that? Regardless of the Garda investigation, would the Minister not want to know what happened? I am sure it is not going to impact any investigation. It is just a piece of knowledge that the Minister should have.
