Irish PM denies Shannon Airport aids Middle East conflict, calls claims false and politically driven.
Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin denied claims that Shannon Airport is used for military operations related to the Middle East conflict, stating there is no evidence it supports attacks on Gaza or arms shipments to Iran.
Speaking in Philadelphia during his U.S. visit, he dismissed the allegations as false and politically motivated, emphasizing Ireland’s adherence to international law and neutrality.
Martin clarified that occasional U.S. military personnel stops at Shannon are on civilian chartered flights with no weapons, and that Ireland has no military bases.
He stressed that flights through Irish airspace follow international rules, though monitoring violations is challenging, and warned such narratives could harm the airport’s reputation.
