Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The answer is clear. The people over there voted in this House last week to suggest I should not go to the United States of America. They now want to critique what I said in the United States of America. If it had been up to them, I would not have been able to have a conversation. I made the point to President Biden that I make in public and private. All countries should use all levers to bring about a ceasefire and that includes the issue of weapons. I made that clear. On munitions, we are clear as to what can and cannot happen over Irish airspace. It is expressly prohibited for civilian aircraft to carry munitions of war in Irish sovereign territory without being granted an exemption to do so by the Minister for Transport. No such exemptions have been granted.
