  1. Disgrace its even happening.

    We’ll talk the big talk by condemning their genocide but have no issue letting the weapons travel through here. Massive hypocrites. Surprised v
    I haven’t Israelis haven’t mentioned it yet. They have an intense dislike for us and would love a pop

  2. “Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien would be given the permission to appoint officers to conduct inspections of aircraft leaving to travel through the country’s airspace under the act. He would also be required to report back on the officers’ work every three months. ”

    How would this work out in practice? Unless a flight actually lands in Ireland somewhere would we have any jurisdiction elsewhere to inspect it?

    Do we know the contents of all cargo flights through our airspace?

  3. It would be the very minimum we should do in my opinion. If we’re neutral we should be *neutral*.

  4. The Irish arms industry will be quaking in their boots.

    More seriously, how would they force planes to land to inspect them? We don’t have an air force.

  5. this references export, to my knowledge Ireland doesnt export any weapons, let alone to Israel, am I wrong?

  6. Shannon stopover should be revoked. Trump has said that he’s no friend of Europe so I fail to see why we should entertain them.

  7. Shannon is just a more visible target. There is a company called the Haifa Group. It manufacturers potassium nitrate which is used extensively in horticulture in Ireland and the same chemical can be used in explosive manufacture. The current owner appears to be Florida most orange man and Gaza newest developer.

    Has anyone in the boycott Israel lobby queried if we still use this source in Irish farming?
