The Minister revealed to me in response to a question last week that the RAF had landed an airplane without permission at Shannon. He told me this was an accident and that the RAF was very sorry. It is a little like the time the Hercules C130 landed with the 30 mm cannon visible, which the Minister told us was an administrative error. At best, this demonstrates a lack of oversight, at worst, a blind eye. I want to know what the Minister is doing to ensure compliance. Will he instruct an audit to find out how many other aircraft are landing without permission? How does he think they are getting permission, given the job of military aircraft is to be engaged in military operations?
