Alan Farrell (Dublin Fingal, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate there is a process. I suggest that if there is a requirement for regulatory or legislative change, the Minister of State should seriously consider the fines and-or sentencing this category of activity warrants. I am certainly be of the view that somebody wantonly endangering the lives of innocent passengers and crew should face a custodial sentence and not just a slap on the wrist. It is imperative that the House sends a very strong message that this sort of behaviour is completely intolerable.
