Expediency is the name of the game. As Deputy O'Rourke has said, certain leeway needs to be given to Dublin Airport Authority staff, particularly airport police, so that they can take down drones in the apron area. It is a different matter entirely if it is encroaching on the runway. If it is in the apron area or by the perimeter fence, the Minister should give leeway or, indeed, direction such that the authority can take such a drone down.
