The carriage of munitions of war is prohibited on any civil aircraft in Irish sovereign territory unless an exemption is granted by the Minister for Transport, as implemented in the Air Navigation (Carriage of Munitions of War, Weapons, and Dangerous Goods) Orders 1973 and 1989.

To date in 2025, no exemptions have been granted to Lufthansa to permit the carriage of munitions of war on civil aircraft landing at Dublin airport.
