- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Export Controls (10 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Licences for the exportation of what are called dual-use items, which are items that have a potential military use, are sanctioned by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, but only after consultation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, according to the regulations. I ask the Tánaiste to report on the advice his Department has given to the Department of enterprise where...

Micheál Martin: The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment operates a rigorous and robust licence application process for the export of dual-use goods, which centres on a careful assessment of the proposed end user and end use. Under the Control of Exports Act 2023, which covers military and dual-use goods, the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment may consult with any other Minister of the...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Air Navigation Orders (10 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Will the Tánaiste report on his engagements regarding the use of either Irish airspace or airports for the illegal transport of weapons of war, particularly those bound for use by the Israeli military?
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Air Navigation Orders (10 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: As the Deputy is aware, the Minister for Transport has confirmed that his Department is examining the allegations made in the media regarding civil aircraft flights and the carriage of munitions of war. I underline that it is expressly prohibited for civil aircraft to carry munitions of war in Irish sovereign airspace without being granted an exemption to do so by the Minister for...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Air Navigation Orders (10 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: I think everybody in the House will accept that applications have not been made and have not been given by Government, but for almost two months we have seen a drip feed of stories, particularly from The Ditch website, including one this week saying that our sovereign airspace is being used to transport weapons ultimately bound for use by the IDF in the ongoing slaughter taking place in Gaza,...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Air Navigation Orders (10 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: We are extremely concerned by the situation in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon. We are conscious of the ICJ's advisory opinion in respect of the occupation of the Palestinian territories. Any policy or activity that would in any way be supportive of the occupation would run contrary to the Irish position, and indeed the international legal position now with regard to the ICJ's advisory...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Air Navigation Orders (10 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Part of the problem is that since the Minister for Transport declared once and loudly that there were no circumstances where Irish sovereign airspace was being used for this purpose, he has gone silent on the matter. To my knowledge, he has not commented publicly in any definitive way. The journalists writing about this have been forthcoming in providing their documentary evidence. I know...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Air Navigation Orders (10 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: First, we take the matter very seriously. On behalf of the Department of Transport we have contacted the Belgian Government with a view to getting that information formally from the authorities in Belgium. I referred to the objective of the airlines because, ultimately, they can go miles outside of our sovereign airspace and they would not be in violation of our laws or the Chicago...
