Has the Minister had any contact or discussions with the US Government regarding military foreign policy? I am interested in two areas. One is the continued use of Shannon Airport by the US military. Since 2000, some 2.5 million US soldiers have passed through the airport. The second is the reports of the number of casualties as a result of drone strikes authorised by President Obama. In effect, there is a drone assassination programme.
