Military Aircraft
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-10
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

The background to my question is that we have military warplanes landing in Shannon Airport, staying for hours or overnight. We are reliant on people like the staff of The Ditch and Ed Horgan and other concerned citizens who are bringing this to our attention. Military warplanes carrying tonnes of weapons are staying overnight or passing through Shannon. What are the Government's plans to end the use of Irish airports by foreign military aircraft?
