View answerThere are international and domestic procedures for authorising the arrival of military personnel from another State to operate in or be based in Ireland. For instance, in line with Article 7 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961, prior approval by the Irish State is required for the appointment of military, naval or air attachés to a diplomatic mission resident in Ireland. Ireland has not received any requests in respect of personnel from US Cyber Command to operate in or be based in Ireland.
