Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

Question : To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will request an examination of the findings in the Council of Europe report just published which cites Ireland as a stopover point for extraordinary rendition flights and the need for the Government to require inspections of aircraft known to have been used for this illegal purpose when they land at airports here, most commonly at Shannon Airport, or their total banning from landing at Irish airports or using Irish airspace; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
