I propose to take Questions Nos. 900 and 901 together.

Further to my reply to Question No: 559 answered on Tuesday 23rd October 2018, officials from my Department have made further enquiries into the matter with Shannon Airport.

It appears that, due to an administrative error, the aircraft with registration number N710CK was incorrectly recorded as N701CK. 

No application for a munitions of war permit in accordance with the Air Navigation (Carriage of Munitions of War, Weapons and Dangerous Goods) Orders, 1973 and 1989 was made to my Department in respect of either aircraft N710CK or N701CK for the date in question.
