Six One News: Sean Whelan, Europe Editor, reports on the evidence of Dermot Ahern, Minister for Foreign Affairs, to a European Parliament Committee investigating CIA-operated flights through Europe
The Minister for Foreign Affairs has told a European Parliament Committee investigating CIA rendition flights there was no evidence that extraordinary rendition has occurred through Irish airports.
Dermot Ahern said that he had 'serious questions' about the committee's assertion that almost 150 'suspicious flights' passed through Irish airports since September 2002.
He also said the Irish Government was 'extremely surprised' that a draft report was in the public domain before it had a chance to put its position to the committee.
