The state is facilitating an Israeli cargo plane using Irish-controlled airspace to pick up IDF weaponry from the US. The plane has on multiple occasions passed through the airspace on its way to a US military base before returning to Israel.

A plane is flying though our airspace.
Well let’s get the banners out.
In the same week Simon Harris was pretending to be telling off Europe this is what he’s been doing in private.
I’m just fucking disgusted by this.
What are we gonna do? Scramble the kites?
I would support us having anti aircraft weapons to shoot these down.
> The Rendition Project and Reprieve have identified 27 aircraft used by the CIA in its rendition programme which they claim landed more than 200 times at Irish airports on global circuits that ferried al-Qaeda suspects around secret prisons or “black sites” between 2001 and 2006. Some of these circuits included so-called “tech stops” at Shannon and involved stopovers at destinations known to be central to the CIA’s so-called rendition, detention and torture programme.

Nothing new under the sun.
Weapons manufacturers in the UK as well.
Sanctions when ?
When you are free loading / outsourcing the protection of your sovereignty to other countries you don’t get to make many calls and go along with what these countries want to do.
The usual quality we’ve come to expect from the Ditch.
The plane is registered as 4X-ICA, which is owned by a Belgian company, Challenge Airlines.
We are *legally obliged* by the Clear Skies agreement between the EU and the US to permit all US or EU airlines to freely operate through our airspace, and provide normal air traffic control measures to those flights.
So the Ditch is basically screaming about us obeying the law.
This is an outrage! Wait, no… it’s not.
