The targeting of laser points at planes in Dublin Airport has been blasted as "reckless and irresponsible".
An Garda Siochana are currently investigating the incident which happened last week. The planes were attempting to land at Dublin Airport at around 9pm on Friday evening when they suffered a series of laser pen attacks, reports the Irish Independent.
Sinn Fein TD for Dublin West Paul Donnelly slammed the incident and called on parents not to buy laser point pens for their children as Christmas presents this year. He said that Friday evening could have potentially escalated into a "disaster" had it not been for the quick thinking of the pilots.
