I second that.

Next, I ask the Leader to arrange a debate for after the recess. The Brussels court of appeal in Belgium has found the Belgian state to be in violation of its obligations under international law and, therefore, domestic law, which recognises international law, by its permitting of overflights, of arms transfers to Israel, over its territory. This is overflights and not landings. The ruling of the court of appeal points to the measures in the January 2024 court finding which established the credible risk of genocide. This is one of a number of serious and high-level court rulings right across Europe on the clear message that we should not be complicit in the transfer of arms, and that states have a responsibility to ensure they are not complicit. Yet we are still seeing no inspections of the flights that are landing in Ireland, and no measures to address the known and documented overflights of weapons that have taken place through Irish airspace. Again, on a separate but linked issue, we do not really know what is happening with overflights or landings in the current conflict in the Middle East.

I ask that the Leader arrange a debate in these Houses on military flights, overflights, landings and what measures the State is taking to protect our neutrality and our compliance with international law. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister for Defence and the Minister for Transport to discuss that matter with the Houses.
