The Transport Minister is facing mounting pressure to do something to stop drone closures at Dublin Airport.
It follows more disruption at the Airport last night.
For the 5th time in 4 weeks the daa had to suspend flight operations due to drone disruptions.
The stoppage lasted half an hour - between 8:22 pm and 8:52pm; but there were no flight diversions.
The daa says the State must consider counter drone technology and severe punishments for anyone found guilty.
Ryanair said last night's incident caused multiple delays and disrupted hundreds of passengers; the airline accused the Minister of being asleep on the job.
Yesterday a father of two accused of causing a security alert by flying a drone into a "critical area" of Dublin Airport was granted bail.
41 year old Ainis Guzauskas with an address at Ridgewood Close in Swords was ordered to stay at least 2km away from Dublin Airport.
He’s due back in court next month.
