Ceisteanna (85)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh

Ceist:

85. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence if his attention has been drawn to the fact that when the State Claims Agency interviewed Air Corps personnel in Baldonnel in 2013, its attention was drawn to the fact that personal protection equipment was not being supplied to personnel and that it commissioned the formation safety office with performing a retrospective examination of at least one area of Casement Aerodrome, the engine repair flight workshop (details supplied); if he was informed by the State Claims Agency or the formation safety office of its findings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52873/17]

As I have previously indicated to the Deputy, the Report of the Air Corps Formation Safety Officer was undertaken in the context of ongoing legal proceedings and it was in that context that the Report was requested by and provided to the State Claims Agency. As the Report was undertaken in the context of a claim, it is legally and professionally privileged.
