123. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will investigate whether passengers were transferred between an aircraft (details supplied) in Dublin airport on 26 June 2020 in which the aircraft originated as a flight in Washington DC, landed in Dublin and originated another flight between Dublin and Benghazi, Libya; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I can confirm that the daa has reported to my officials that passengers were transferred between aircraft as detailed by the Deputy.

My Department has no further details regarding these flights as the operator referred to is an EU carrier and therefore, no prior flight authorisations were required from my Department under EU Aviation Regulations.
