The southern Seyfert galaxy IC 5063 was the first AGN where a fast outflow of neutral hydrogen was detected. Here we present new optical spectra that were taken with the ESO-NTT to compare the kinematics of the ionised gas with that of the neutral hydrogen component in order to study the mechanism that could drive this outflow. The data reveal extremely complex gas kinematics, including the presence of an outflow of ionised gas (with speeds of several hundred km/s) at the location of the brighter radio lobe. This outflow is strikingly similar to that of the HI. We consider the interaction between the radio jet and the ISM to be the most likely mechanism for the extreme kinematics and a possible scenario is described.
