In addition, the US is supplying most of the mid-air refuelling planes for the Royal Saudi Air Force that is bombing Yemen. In June of this year, I asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs about a number of US mid-air refuelling planes that have passed through Shannon Airport. The Government denied these planes are engaged in NATO exercises, therefore, it is increasingly likely they are in the process of being delivered to refuel Saudi war planes that are bombing Yemen. Ireland is almost certainly assisting the US and Saudi Arabia to kill thousands of innocent people in Yemen.
