Eamon Ryan: Dublin Airport drone solution 'not as simple as Michael O'Leary says'
The Transport Minister has responded to Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary, who accused him of “sitting on his hands”.
The Ryanair boss said last night’s drone disruption resulted in three flights being diverted to Shannon and Belfast Airport.
Minister Ryan will bring a memo to Cabinet on Tuesday to "comprehensively address" the issue.
But O'Leary said: 'We need that done today, we don't need a memo to cabinet next Tuesday.'
