Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I am taking this question on behalf of Deputy Brady. I ask the Minister to respond to reports that substantial volumes of munitions intended for the Israeli military are being transported through Irish airspace, and if he will make a statement on the matter. In fairness, there has been a fair amount in the public domain about this. We know that we need to ensure that we are not in any way facilitating what is going on in Gaza or the wider Middle East by the IDF at this time. Obviously, the Tánaiste has spoken before about the only point of them doing it is to save fuel, but we need to make sure that in no way, shape or form is any of this allowed.
