Questions have been raised over the future of pre-clearance facilities at Shannon Airport in light of the US President's executive order, which restricts entry into the states for people from seven countries.
The Taoiseach has ordered a "full review" of the pre-clearance at Irish airports, and there has been unanimous agreement at cabinet level for the retention of the facility.
Deputy Joe Carey says pre-clearance is of the utmost importance to Shannon Airport, and he believes that undermining it is simply a knee-jerk reaction.
