With regard to the ongoing conflict in Palestine, the Commissioner will be aware of media reports of certain civilian airlines carrying weapons of war or components bound for Israel in support of the genocide of the people of Gaza.

Does An Garda Síochána have any concerns that arms are being routinely smuggled through sovereign airspace?
