Mr. Niall Burgess:
I was talking about the passage of civilian aircraft through Shannon Airport. In the case of military aircraft, the US embassy submits a third-party note to us before military aircraft are given landing authorisation. We require the US authorities to confirm that the aircraft are not carrying weapons and are not armed. Authorisation for landing is given on that basis.
