I find it strange that no evidence can be found in national archives, military archives or in the Department of Justice of this escape attempt in Portlaise Prison. O'Brien has been diagnosed with a severe form of post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD. Has the State got a duty of care to this man? Is he entitled to be looked after? I ask the Deputy Leader to perhaps put that question to the Department of Justice, because nobody else can get an answer.

Finally, the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA, is due to split into two organisations at the end of the month. We have an urgent request for that not to happen because many issues have to be resolved. I ask that the Minister for Transport to be contacted and asked to postpone this.
