I do not understand how these matters would be irrelevant to the remit of the committee. Our understanding is that this is an interdepartmental group on security established in the wake of the attacks of 11 September 2001. Surely the potential for an attack, which has been raised on many occasions by different voices in the wake of the events of 11 September 2001 and in the fact that the Government continues to accommodate US military overflights and landing opportunities at Shannon Airport, is very much within the remit and context of the interdepartmental group's brief.
