I hope my question comes within the scope of the question. Would the Minister tell us whether in the Army there has been established a special unit for dealing with exceptional cases like hijacks, kidnappings and outrages of that sort? The Minister is aware that other armies in Europe and elsewhere have developed special crack units who can be called up to deal with this type of situation. I do not want the Minister to disclose any confidential information, and I am sure he would not, but perhaps he would be able to give an assurance that in the unfortunate event of one of these incidents happening in our territory we would have special provisions for dealing with it.

There is a unit of that type called the Army Ranger Wing. They demonstrated their capacity to the press before Christmas. Deputy Treacy and I watched their demonstration and were impressed by the level of their expertise and capacity.

I accept that, but I am talking about something a little different. Have we a unit with specialist training in the emergency situation I am talking about, such as the hijacking of an aeroplane?

I can assure the Deputy that the training of the Army Ranger Wing enables them to deal with all sorts of emergency situations, including the type envisaged by the Deputy.
