519 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Shannon airport was used in February 2006 to facilitate the sale of attack helicopters between the US and Israel in an act that breached the terms under which the landing of the US plane was sanctioned; the steps that will be taken to ensure there will be no repeat occurrences; his views on whether the incident demonstrates the grave inadequacy of US assurances about rendition flights and the need to take active measures to ensure against Ireland’s complicity in human rights abuses including making landing permission for US planes subject to provisions allowing random searches by the Garda Síochána.
