What has the Irish state done?
Israel-bound explosives for IDF contractors and the Israeli police have been transported over Irish sovereign airspace since at least last October and November – on two flights separate to the other four already reported by The Ditch.
A fourth Israel-bound cargo flight flew over Irish sovereign airspace this year, carrying 27 arming devices that were, according to shipping records, “to be used in the Arrow 3 missile interceptor for end use by the Israel Ministry of Defence”.
The Ditch can reveal that a third Israel-bound cargo flight flew over Irish sovereign airspace this year – carrying more than 24 tonnes of weapons for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The Ditch has uncovered a second Israel-bound cargo flight that flew over Irish sovereign airspace this year – loaded with more thanr 23 tonnes of weapons for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has confirmed that an Israeli-operated flight carrying Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) weaponry flew through Irish sovereign airspace without legal permission.
An Israeli-operated cargo plane flew through Irish sovereign airspace this year loaded with explosives on the way to the Israel Defense Forces, according to documents obtained by The Ditch.
An Israeli-operated cargo plane has flown through Irish sovereign airspace three times this year on its way to the US to collect Israel Defence Forces (IDF) weaponry.
The state is facilitating an Israeli cargo plane using Irish airspace to pick up Israel Defense Forces (IDF) weaponry from the United States.
The state has required engineers working on the mica scheme to submit draft reports and receive guidance from the Housing Agency before final reports are accepted. These reports have been crucial in affected homeowners being awarded grants they maintain are inadequate.
Engineers say the state’s standard for assessing mica redress grants – which is being used to downgrade affected homeowners to cheaper options – isn’t appropriate and isn’t grounded in science.
