I take the Minister of State at his word. As I said, I have known him for a long time. There is a major question here, however, in that the Minister of State is not getting the information to enable him to come here and answer correctly what we are asking. In some ways, that is a bigger scandal than the one we have been dealing with for a number of days here, given the amount of people who were exposed to chemicals since the first reports I saw were initiated and which directed the military authorities to take specific steps. I ask the Minister of State to go back to the military authorities and remind them that they have carried out assessments in Casement aerodrome which specifically pointed to major failings. They did not take any action until the HSA report was completed, which is even more scandalous.
