We are called by An Garda Síochána to aid in the civil power to Shannon Airport on occasion. We protect the planes. We do not search them or make any policy decision whatsoever. That is a matter for the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. I have repeated that in the House on numerous occasions.

I am not sure whether the Deputy is looking for information on exact dates, but I will come back to her with further clarification. I do not have the exact date on which we were involved in aid to the civil power in Shannon Airport in January 2017. I will come back to the Deputy on that.
