Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
298. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Transport the number of military personnel who passed through Shannon Airport per month in 2021 and to date in 2022, in tabular form; the nationalities of these personnel; the number of these personnel who travelled on civil commercial aircraft; those who travelled on military aircraft; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41534/22]
View answerMy department has no function with regard to the transit of foreign military personnel through Irish sovereign territory or Irish airports. Additionally, flights by state aircraft, including military aircraft, are a matter for the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
With regard to your requested information, I have forwarded your question to Shannon Group plc. for direct reply.
If the Deputy does not receive a reply from the Company within ten working days, please advise my Private Office.
