Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

In the coming weeks. At the same time, I will indicate what progress my Department, which has been working on this for some six months now, is making on the complex issues of how we improve our legal powers in this area, which we need to do. That does take a certain amount of time because we need to get it right. In the interim, we will do everything we can. I have already put out a notice to all carriers reiterating and repeating our rights under international law that no munitions would be carried without the express approval of the Irish Government. That is something we do and will continue to do an ongoing basis.
