The Dublin Airport Authority slammed those flying the drones and warned the "reckless and irresponsible" will be prosecuted. It is illegal to fly a drone within 5km of the Airport.
A DAA statement read: "Flight operations at Dublin Airport were once again suspended this evening (Monday) for safety reasons after a drone was spotted on the airfield. Following a suspension of around 40 minutes, flight operations restarted around 19.45.
"The reckless and irresponsible behaviour of those causing ongoing drone disruptions at Dublin Airport is unacceptable. Those found responsible will face prosecution.
"While safety and security remain our top priorities such disruptions cause huge inconvenience to our passengers. Again, we would remind the public that it is illegal to fly drones within 5km of the airport."
