Vol. 204 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Low-Flying Aircraft.

31.

asked the Minister for Transport and Power whether, in view of the recent accident which occurred at Shannon Airport following on the granting of permission to a film company to use low-flying aircraft for filming purposes, and in view of the fact that no tourist or other publicity will result for this country from these filming activities, since the scenes concerned will be portrayed as occurring at London Airport, he will now withdraw the permission he has given to the film company to carry out similar low-flying at Dublin Airport.

No request to carry out low flying for film-making purposes similar to that which resulted in an accident at Shannon Airport to one of the aircraft involved, has been made in connection with the use of Dublin Airport. In fact, no request for permission for low-flying at Dublin has been made by the film company.
