Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

Will the Minister accept that it is not credible to suggest that by chance on the one day when the EU committee happened to be in Dublin airport there was a coincidental lapse in security? Does the Minister accept that the EU committee has shown up a system's failure at Dublin airport? Will he explain why the committee under the aegis of his Department which has explicit responsibility for monitoring security at the airports did not manage to uncover this system's failure and what action he will take in respect of that committee? Surely he will not leave those same people, who failed to detect this problem, in place on that committee? Has he moved to replace the committee?
