443. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if US military aircraft landed in Baldonnel Aerodrome between January 2001 and December 2014; the number that landed per year; the type of aircraft; and the reason they were given permission to land. [48888/14]

I can confirm that US military aircraft have been granted permission to use the landing facilities at Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel. Records of landings at the Aerodrome are held by the Air Corps but statistics for the period in question by year and type of aircraft are not readily available. Information is currently being sourced through the Department of Defence and will be provided to the Deputy as soon as it becomes available.
