The Donegal Corridor (Irish: Muinchinn Dúin na nGall) was a narrow strip of Irish airspace linking Lough Erne to the international waters of the Atlantic Ocean through which the Irish Government permitted flights by British military aircraft during World War II.[citation needed] This was a contravention of Irish neutrality and was not publicised at the time.[citation needed]
