There are concerns that anti-drone technology won't be deployed at Dublin Airport in time for the busy tourism season.
The airport was closed six times in the first two months of this year from illegal drone activity leading to flight disruptions and diversions. Dublin South West Colm Brophy has called for assurances to be made that the drone defences will be in place soon.
The Fine Gael TD said that staff at the airport underwent training to use the technology last month. “We were told the staff were waiting on regulatory approval," he said.
