The Irish Government has said it is in “ongoing contact” with French authorities about a military exercise planned for this week that may affect a part of Ireland’s waters.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said it is in contact with the French authorities in relation to a missile or rocket-firing exercise planned for this week, taking place in an area of the Atlantic Ocean off the French coast, but which may stretch to the extremities of Ireland’s southern waters.
The exercise is scheduled to take place from Tuesday until Friday and Monday between 2am to 4pm each day.
