They often end up in completely illegal situations over a long period of years. The vast debts they owe to the people-smugglers often carry on through families. If the Garda National Investigation Bureau has been doing more work on this issue as a consequence of the civilianisation of the airport, I welcome that. An immediate high-level inquiry is needed to ensure that what has happened in this instance is closed down. If these people somehow had access to the catering vans going out of the airport, what does that say about the access of those vans to the air-side when they go to service catering on airplanes? If there is a weakness in one direction, it is almost inevitable that there is a weakness in the other direction. That is why we need a high-level inquiry into this immediately.
