Dublin Airport's anti-drone technology is still a number of weeks away from being operational, Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has said.
His department is working with the airport and aviation authorities to see what measures can be taken in the meantime to help prevent disruption. This comes following a number of disruptions at the airport after illegal drone activity, with the airport being "shut" six times in the last six weeks.
Speaking on RTE, Minister Ryan said equipment providers are being assessed for their effectiveness. He said: "There are a number of different equipment providers which we are assessing and we'll make sure that we get the right equipment. It will take a number of weeks. It won't be instantaneous."
