Transport Department airspace investigations
Deputy Duncan Smith asks the Government to expedite and publish investigations into weapons transport through Irish airspace; the Tánaiste agrees to raise the matter with the Transport Minister.
Finally, on the transport of weapons through Irish airspace, we know, as Deputy Murphy said in his contribution earlier, that these end up going into the Department of Transport investigations black hole. Will the Tánaiste please commit to this House, and this is small, that he will ask the Department of Transport to expedite these investigations, to publish results, and to change and improve how it conducts these investigations, because they are a matter of the utmost seriousness with regard to the integrity of our skies and our airspace, and they cannot just go into that Department and never seem to come out?
