Seanad ReportMr David Norris (Ind) asked for information on what measures were being taken to inspect US military traffic in transit through Shannon Airport to Iraq. He said he wanted inquiries made because it was apparently possible that torturers from the US, or their victims, were being transported through our air space and through this airport. "I'd like to know whether or not this is a fact."

Mr Norris also requested that the Leader of the House inquire if an American ship in Dublin Port at present was carrying depleted uranium shells. The Leader of the House, Mrs Mary O'Rourke, said she would make inquiries about the points that had been raised.
