Eric J. Byrne
Question:388 Mr. E. Byrne asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications whether any federal Government of Nigeria planes have been serviced at Shannon airport since November 1995; if so, the relevant dates; whether General Sani Abacha's jet was serviced during this period; if so, whether the military personnel accompanied the aircraft during its stopover at Shannon; his view on whether facilitating Nigerian Government aircraft in this manner militates against the common position adopted by the EU on Nigeria; if he will give an assurance that no Irish company will henceforth be involved in servicing any equipment of the Nigerian military Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
