The company contracted to transport US soldiers to and from Shannon Airport on civil flights has been granted 31 weapons exemptions in just the past six weeks. New figures released to Labour show that Omni Air International was granted 37 exemptions in total over the period, with six of these relating to flyovers. According to Transport Minister Darragh O'Brien, the flights were granted permission to carry unloaded personal weapons only, with no ammunition. Shannonwatch founder Dr Edward Horgan claims it's inconceivable these flights are not supporting military operations.
