I shall do that. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach for the suggestion.

The other point I would make is that on the Order of Business yesterday a colleague on the other side - I am not sure if it was Senator Bacik or not - expressed sympathy to the victims of the German air crash. It was seen as an accident. It now transpires it was not an accident, that the co-pilot locked the door of the cabin using the anti-terrorist devices and deliberately crashed the plane. On the black box recorder, one can plainly hear the pilot desperately trying to smash the door in and the terrified screams of the passengers. This is very shocking news and it makes it all the worse for the relatives, who know that it was not an accident but an act of appalling air piracy. I join in the expression of sympathy to those relatives.
