Flight operations at Dublin Airport were suspended this morning for a short period because of a drone sighting. Members were assured in the House by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, who probably does not know a lot about transport, that this would not happen. The Taoiseach also has assured us that this would not happen. This was in response to queries by my colleague, Deputy Troy, and to Deputy Lawless, who has tabled legislation on the matters but it did happen, albeit temporarily. What action has the Government taken to protect our transport services and our airport services from this new scourge of drone activity?
