## Resource

There's a push to give the Government greater powers to prevent munitions from being flown through Shannon Airport. The Social Democrats have introduced a bill that would extend what qualifies as a State aircraft by including aircraft operating as custom flights. It follows reports of chartered flights assisting with ICE deportations in the US passing through the Clare base. Speaking in the Seanad, Social Democrats Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Senator Patricia Stephenson, believes the proposed legislation would put an end to ICE flights coming through Shannon.
