We will forward the correspondence from the Department and note that the Wild Atlantic Way will address some of the issues raised.

Petition No. P00072/12 from Dr. Edward Horgan and 19 associated petitioners calls for an investigation into the use of Shannon Airport and Irish airspace by the US military and the CIA. The petition seeks a parliamentary investigation focusing on the two issues of extraordinary rendition and US military use of Shannon Airport and confining itself to the involvement of the Irish Government and its agencies and agents in these matters. The committee previously considered this petition at its meeting of 27 November 2013 and agreed, as a preliminary step, to refer the petition to the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade requesting a specific report on the issues raised. The committee has deliberated further in light of the Tánaiste’s response.
