Ceist:

566. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport how the Irish Aviation Authority know when aircraft such as the United States of America aircraft, Military Hercules EC130H, which made an emergency landing in Shannon on 28 February 2015, are in Irish airspace in view of the fact that the aircraft normally operate in secret.

The subject matter of this particular question is the responsibility of the Irish Aviation Authority, and I have referred the question to them for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten days.
