The Department of Transport has a primary role in relation to aviation security matters. Policy regarding air marshals involves close co-ordination between my Department, the Department of Justice, Equality & Law Reform and An Garda Siochána. Currently there are no plans to introduce an air marshal training programme. However, the matter is kept under continuous review.
