I propose to take Questions Nos. 40 and 41 together.

Ireland has not concluded a Status of Forces Agreement with the United States.

United States military personnel transiting or visiting Ireland are under a duty to respect Irish law.

As with all other States, only military personnel duly accredited through their Embassy, under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 have a legal status that is governed by the Diplomatic Relations and Immunities Act 1967, as amended.
