Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

Yes. With respect, I do not doubt the sincerity of the Leader or the response he provided. He obviously received a briefing note in respect of this matter. Two of the student pilots in question e-mailed me this morning and indicated that they are flying home tomorrow at their own expense. There is something rotten going on here. I am not blaming the Minister but there is no doubt that this problem must be dealt with as a matter of urgency. These people's visas are expiring and they have received notices to quit. In such circumstances, I must press the matter to a vote. I will raise it again tomorrow and perhaps the Leader might be in a position to provide assistance in respect of it at that point.
