Taoiseach must urgently provide full answers in response to Israeli arms flight claims – Mary Lou McDonald TD

Sinn Féin Leader Mary Lou McDonald TD has said it is the responsibility of An Taoiseach Simon Harris to provide full answers in response to reported claims that an Israeli operated aircraft transporting weaponry was flown through Irish airspace.

Teachta McDonald said:

“Israel is waging a genocidal war on the people of Gaza. The idea that Israel would brazenly violate Irish airspace to transport weaponry and munitions used to commit these atrocities is unacceptable. It would also represent a conscious and grave breach of Ireland’s neutrality by the Israelis.

“Last week I wrote to the Taoiseach Simon Harris on this matter. I asked him a number of questions. I have yet to receive a reply.

“The Taoiseach now says he is seeking information and updates from the relevant government departments.

“He must urgently provide full answers.

“He must also outline what actions he will take in response to any violation of Ireland’s airpace by Israel.”

Anna was a passionate and dedicated representative who was never afraid to speak her mind and worked to build a better society for all.

My thoughts are with her family, friends, and former…
