Taoiseach Simon Harris has expressed concern over reports of Israeli operated aircraft carrying weaponry from the US flew through Irish airspace. Harris stated that proper consent protocols were not followed for such flights, and he is seeking clarification from relevant government departments.
The reports, published by The Ditch news website, have raised questions about the use of Irish airspace for transporting weapons. People Before Profit TD Bríd Smith has demanded answers and has called on Tánaiste Micheál Martin to correct his previous statement denying the use of Irish airspace for this purpose.
Smith highlighted a discrepancy in the Tánaiste’s previous statement, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding any potential involvement of Irish airspace in conflicts in the Middle East. The Taoiseach is awaiting updates from the Department of Defence and the Department of Transport on the matter.
