I will ask about our airspace. We have all seen the barbaric and heartbreaking scenes coming from Gaza and Lebanon, where hospitals are burning, schools are razed to the ground and children are buried alive under the rubble. The Ditch has reported on at least nine flights carrying weapons of slaughter travelling through Irish airspace. It should not be up to small news websites to monitor Irish airspace. That is the Tánaiste's job and the job of the Government. By turning a blind eye, they are allowing our neutrality to be trampled on. Ireland should not be facilitating the transport of weapons that are then being used to commit war crimes. What action is the Government taking to ensure that our airspace is not being used in this way?

I already articulated my horror at what is happening in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, and my condemnation of what I consider to be war crimes and breaches of international humanitarian law. However, the presentation that the Government is somehow facilitating this is an outrageous assertion. We are facilitating no carriage of weapons to Israel or any other part of the world. That company violated Irish law, essentially. The Minister for Transport and his Department are endeavouring to get precise information from the Belgian Government and the company. No one here is facilitating any transfer of weaponry through our airspace. Under the Chicago Convention, people are obliged to seek permission from the country-----

-----if they want to fly through our airspace with weapons. If that company has flouted law-----

What are you doing is the question.

The way the Deputy presented it was less than accurate.
