Ryanair calls on Eamon Ryan to take action on drone disruption at Dublin Airport

The airline accused the Transport Minister of being "asleep on the job" and "all talk and no action".

“It is unacceptable that more Ryanair flights and hundreds of passengers have again suffered disruptions and delays as Dublin Airport closed for a fifth time in four weeks due to Transport Minister Eamon Ryan’s failure to take any action to prevent drone disruptions at Dublin Airport. As always, Minister Ryan promises 'stronger enforcement measures' but delivers nothing. "Minister Ryan should explain why other EU Airports have effective drone prevention measures in place but Dublin keeps being disrupted while he is asleep on the job. Sadly, our Transport Minister is all talk and no action when it comes to drone disruptions.”
