Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

Time is limited so the Deputy should allow me to answer the question whether the Garda Síochána has powers to board aircraft. It has been verified by the Attorney General that the Garda Síochána has such powers. I would hazard a guess that the Attorney General is correct and that the information the Deputy received is not correct. However, that is a matter for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to answer in the House.
