The Government has been accused of "tuning a blind eye" to large volumes of weapons that have been transported through Irish airspace en route to Israel.

People Before Profit-Solidarity TD Paul Murphy has claimed in the Dáil that "tonnes of weaponry" have flown through Irish sovereign airspace since October 2023 to the Israeli military, "namely F-35 combat jet components, munitions from Lockheed Martin and IMI Systems, missile launchers, Smith and Wesson handguns, ammunition primer, detonator, detonating fuses, and tear gas".
