John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

With respect, a great deal of latitude was given to the previous speaker and I insist I get the same treatment. The Minister has made a statement about this issue and says we are not involved in extraordinary renditions. However, is he stating to the House that the planes mentioned in the Council of Europe report were not involved in extraordinary renditions in any shape or form? I am not asking whether there were prisoners on board but whether the Minister believes the planes were used for extraordinary renditions under any shape or form.
