Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

I have no update to provide on the response to the Deputy's question of 23 September last. My Department continues to consult with the relevant Departments in relation to each application received for permits under the Air Navigation (Carriage of Munitions of War, Weapons and Dangerous Goods) Order 1973.
