A delegation from the Irish ship sailing to Gaza has produced video evidence and so on. Will the Minister consider an independent examination of the evidence they produce? All it would take is someone with naval engineering experience. I am confident that this was sabotage of the propeller shaft. The Minister is well aware of the implications. It was devious sabotage because it would have caused a failure at sea by forcing the shaft up into the hull, forcing the boat to take on water and sink. It was a most malicious and devious form of sabotage. Will the Minister accept a presentation of evidence to him on this matter? If so, will he have it independently examined if it turns out the Turkish authorities are holding to the position he outlined?
