This section deals with the regulations, as Senator Cummins observed. However, these are not State regulations and requirements but simply the conditions laid down by the airlines. This was raised on Second Stage in both the Dáil and Seanad. Senator Keaveney, for example, spoke about people being questioned as they came off the Belfast to Dublin train. This section does not deal with that and there is no State requirement in this regard. We all should contact the airlines to make our views known. There is a difficulty in that some people do not have a driving licence. This is an issue we could raise with the airlines.
