5. Protocols or procedures in place for reporting and investigating UAP/UFO sightings. 6. Information on specific cases, including any physical materials believed to have originated from UAP/UFO incidents currently held by your department/agency.

Department of Defence

Any documented responses by the Defence Forces, Department of Defence, or any other affiliated units to incidents involving UAP/UFO activity. Any follow-up investigations or actions taken, including coordination with external agencies. 4. Broader Categorization: Any records, regardless of how they are categorized or labeled, that involve unexplained aerial phenomena, including those not explicitly classified as "UAP" or "UFO" but falling under similar descriptors (e.g., "unidentified aircraft," "anomalous radar returns," "unknown aerial activity," etc.). I would also like to reference my prior Freedom of Information requests to both the Department of Defence and the Defence Forces, where I was informed that there were no records whatsoever fitting my criteria. However, the recent article published by Sidestream News (“The Irish Government's Secretive Hold on UFO/UAP Records” https://www.sidestreamnews.com/post/exclusive-the-irish-government-s- secretive-hold-on-ufo-uap-records ) directly contradicts these responses by detailing the existence of material related to UAP/UFO activity held by Irish government entities. This highlights significant public interest in this area and that the departments are quite frankly lying about the extent to which they care and how much material they hold in relation.

Department of Defence

I am writing to you on the issue of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) in the skies over the Republic of Ireland. What monitoring of reports is being carried out? What is being done to record and investigate reports made in the Republic of Ireland? Can I request a copy of the documents be sent to me digitally asap so I can study them? Please use search terms that are interchangeable but specific: ‘Unidentified Flying Objects’ and ‘UFO’, ‘Flying Saucer’
