I think everybody in the House will accept that applications have not been made and have not been given by Government, but for almost two months we have seen a drip feed of stories, particularly from The Ditch website, including one this week saying that our sovereign airspace is being used to transport weapons ultimately bound for use by the IDF in the ongoing slaughter taking place in Gaza, the West Bank and, more recently, in Lebanon. I take this opportunity to wish well and commend the members of the Irish Defence Forces based in Lebanon.

Has the Tánaiste established and is he satisfied that our sovereign airspace has been used for this purpose? If it has, what will be done by the Government to ensure it does not happen again?
