Ceisteanna (30)

Mick Wallace

Ceist:

30. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he is satisfied that the permissions granted by his Department for the landing of United States of America military aircraft at Shannon Airport, pursuant to the Air Navigation (Foreign Military Aircraft) Order of 1952, do not create a security risk for Ireland; if he has had discussions with either the Department of Defence or the Department of Justice and Equality, regarding the need for enhanced security measures at airports here, similar to the recent raising of security levels at United States of America military bases, in response to the threatening environment perpetuated by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19310/15]

Security arrangements at Irish airports do not come under the remit of my Department. The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport has primary responsibility for the matter. Neither he, nor the Minister for Defence, has raised any issues in this regard with me.
