Air Accident Investigation Unit Final Report into R116 air accident: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-17
============================================================

Danny Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

I want to use my time to offer my deepest sympathies to the families and friends of Captain Dara Fitzpatrick, Captain Mark Duffy, winchman Ciarán Smyth and winch operator Paul Ormsby. The accident and loss of the crew were a terrible tragedy. We must surely learn lessons from this terrible tragedy and insist that something like it never happens again.
