Questions related to Ireland's neutrality and customary international laws on neutrality are a matter for the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is consulted in relation to foreign policy issues on all applications from civil airlines for exemptions to carry munitions in Irish airspace under the Air Navigation (Carriage of Munitions of War, Weapons and Dangerous Goods) Order, 1973.
