This question relates to whether the Minister has had contact with his colleague in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade with regard to reviewing the practice of authorising permits for the transit of weapons and munitions through Shannon Airport. This is against the backdrop of the fact that last year permits were given permits by the Minister to take weapons and explosives through Shannon Airport on a total of 272 flights, the majority of which were used to take US troops between military bases and locations in the Middle East where, as Members are aware, a slaughter of innocent people is under way. What is the Minister doing to review the procedure?
