My Department has no function with regard to the transit of foreign military personnel through Irish sovereign territory or Irish airports.

daa has confirmed that it has not had US military personnel arriving on commercial flights through Dublin Airport and Cork Airport to date in 2020. With regard to Shannon Airport, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to Shannon Group plc. for direct reply.

If the Deputy does not receive a reply from the Company within ten working days, I ask her to advise my Private Office.
