55. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade further to Parliamentary Question No. 201 of 6 March 2013 if permission was sought for US military personnel to wear uniform outside the transit area of Shannon Airport on 10 February 2013; and, if so, if this was granted.

In accordance with the provision of Section 317 of the Defence Act, 1954, express permission has been granted to the US authorities for their military personnel to wear military uniform in the transit areas of Irish airports. However, should the Deputy be in a position to provide further information, my Department will be happy to look further into the matter.
