Inquiry into claims Israeli munitions flown through Irish airspace

Date:


Claims that munitions for the Israel Defence Forces have been transported through Irish airspace are being investigated by the Republic of Ireland’s Department of Transport.

The allegations were made on The Ditch website.

It claimed that a cargo flight bound for Israel flew through Irish airspace earlier in 2024.

A spokesperson for the Department of Transport said carrying weapons of war on a civil aircraft in Irish airspace was prohibited unless an exemption was granted by the transport minister.

They confirmed no applications had been received, or exemptions granted in 2023 or so far in 2024.

The flight was by a civil air operator and the Department of Transport said it was engaging with it.

On Monday, Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Simon Harris said he was seeking information on the reports.
