Ryanair take savage swipe at 'sleeping' Eamon Ryan after flights disrupted by drones at Dublin Airport

Ryanair has taken to social media to hit out at what they perceive as transport minister Eamon Ryan’s inaction over the ongoing drone issue at Dublin Airport which disrupted travel throughout the bank holiday weekend.

The budget airline, known for its engaging and often humorous Twitter posts, took to the microblogging platform to post the well-known picture of Eamon Ryan apparently asleep in a Dáil sitting at the Convention Centre during Covid-19 alongside the caption, “Asleep again Eamon Ryan, three days of drone disruption”.

The picture aimed to highlight the lack of effort taken to curb the ongoing issue of drones at the airport. It comes following several days of disruption at the airport over the Bank Holiday weekend due to drones flying over the airspace. Flights have been disrupted on three occasions since last Friday.
