Transport Minister Eamon Ryan is to meet with the daa and the Irish Aviation Authority after yet more flights disruptions caused by drones at Dublin airport.

Flights were grounded for just over 30 minutes yesterday evening after a confirmed drone sighting, some flights were also diverted to other airports.

Dublin Airport itself has called for new legislation and a state agency responsible for technology to counter drones.

Speaking at Ryanair's Operations Centre in Dublin last night, Michael O'Leary demanded action from the Transport Minister.

"This is the sixth drone closure Ryanair has suffered in the last 5 weeks.

"It is unacceptable that flights have diverted to Belfast and Shannon this evening while our Minister for Transport sits on his hands and does nothing."
