I thank the Minister of State for his response. I salute the Irish delegation involved in the negotiations at Croke Park in securing acceptance of the additional provision in regard to what may be dropped from aircraft. I recall the event; it was a good day.

Perhaps, the Minister of State will give us some further information — I completely understand if he does not have this information to hand — in regard to what precisely is meant by chaff? I have no difficulty whatever with chaff which is dropped in aluminium flakes to deflect radar detection.
