Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

Last June air navigation legislation was rushed through this House. It gave €9 billion worth of insurance cover on behalf of the State in respect of liabilities arising from dirty bomb attacks in Irish airports and airlines. The legislation was not debated at the time because of its alleged urgency, because we were told that it was required by European law and that there would be a reciprocal arrangement with other European countries.
