The position with cargo preclearance is that the Ireland-U.S. Preclearance Agreement signed in November 2008, does not provide for the preclearance of cargo. However, as I have previously informed the Deputy, when passenger preclearance, which is already fully established at Shannon Airport, becomes operational at Terminal 2 in Dublin Airport I will consider the possibility of approaching the U.S. Authorities about cargo preclearance.
