Like other Senators, I wish to comment on the arrest last night of Deputies Mick Wallace and Clare Daly and particularly their use of the defence of the Nuremberg Principles behind which they are hiding in terms of human rights. If they have proof that Shannon is being used-----

We have plenty of proof which I gave some years ago.

Senator Cáit Keane to continue, without interruption, please.

I will quote from an article which states that a report of alleged unlawful activity concerning the use of Irish airports has been made to the Garda. The Garda investigated having ensured, where appropriate, files were sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions-----

They did not.

The Senator does not want to hear this. The spokesperson said that in no case has a direction to prosecute been given. Are Deputies Clare Daly and Mick Wallace accusing the Director of Public Prosecutions of not doing the job he is charged to do? Specific assurances were sought and received from US authorities by many Taoisigh that Shannon Airport was not being used in this way. An agreement for overflight and landing of US military has been in place for over 50 years. We are talking now about better co-operation among all of the European countries. Are we saying we should have no co-operation and that there should not even be fuelling and landing? What I am saying is that there should be proper inspection and if anybody has any proof they should go to the Garda and have it investigated. I do think that playing to the gallery and not paying one's fines-----

I went to the gardaí and they refused to investigate.

They should be deducted from their salaries. I propose that any Deputy, Senator or councillor who owes a fine should not stand for election without having paid that fine. We saw where Mick Murphy had to pay his property tax last month because he was selling his house. Everybody who owes any money to the Government should pay. It is a bad example to hide behind the Nuremberg Principles. I want a debate on the Nuremberg Principles and the way in which they are being abused. Deputy Mick Wallace has a history of not paying his taxes to the State.

I remind the Senator that Deputy Mick Wallace is a Member of the other House.

I do not care what House he is a Member of; he is giving bad example.

It is a personal remark. Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?

No. The Nuremberg Principles do not give anybody a right-----

We are not discussing Members of the other House. Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?

I am discussing the Nuremberg Principles, behind which they are hiding, and the declaration of human rights. What I want to discuss is-----

The Senator is way over time.

I am asking for a debate on this, like others, but I am also asking that their fines be deducted from their salaries. They should not stand for election, giving bad examples.

The Senator can make those points during the debate.
