Could the Minister clarify what procedures are in place to ensure that US military aircraft landing in Shannon are complying with the conditions set out regarding permission to land? Given previous responses from the Minister and the Department that these conditions are rigorously enforced, that there are robust procedures in place and that the conditions include that the aircraft must be unarmed, carry no arms, ammunition or explosives and not engage in intelligence gathering, and that the flights concerned do not form part of a military exercise or operation, can the Minister clarify what procedures are in place to ensure that?
