The Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism was mentioned. It was very fortunate that the door of the helicopter did not hit the rotor blades or drop off over a built up area. People could have lost their lives. It was a very serious incident. We have six of these helicopters. They appear to be sturdy machines but the left hand door of the helicopter concerned came off for an unexplained reason. We must get an early result from that air accident investigation.
