The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs have denied claims made by Marine Platoon Sergeant, Jim Massey that Depleted uranium ammunition was brought through Shannon. A spokeperson told Daily Ireland in todays paper page four.

“Mr Massey's claim is not supported by the Government's records on the
transit of munitions of war,” the spokesperson told Daily Ireland .
“The permission of the Minister for Transport, in the case of civilian
aircraft, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in the case of foreign
military aircraft, is required to transport munitions of war through Irish
territory.
“The records of both Departments show that, contrary to Mr Massey's claim,
there were no applications for the transport of depleted uranium munitions
throughout the period of the Iraq war. The US Embassy has been contacted
in relation to this matter and has confirmed that its records support
this.”

so who belives that then?
