Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 November 2013
41. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if the Canadian C130 Hercules aircraft which was present in Shannon on 6 November at gate 42 was carrying passengers or cargo. [48427/13]
View answerLandings of Canadian military aircraft at Shannon are subject to the conditions that apply to all foreign military aircraft that land in Irish airports, i.e. that the aircraft are unarmed, carry no arms, ammunition or explosives, do not engage in intelligence gathering, and that the flights in question do not form any part of military exercises or operations. I am not in a position to provide information on the passengers and cargo of individual aircraft which have landed at Shannon Airport.
