Flights at Dublin Airport had to temporarily stop six times in the first eight weeks of this year

Ryanair has called on the Transport Minister to make sure anti-drone equipment at Dublin Airport is ready for the busy Easter period.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to fly in and out of the Airport over the next two weeks.

Flights at Dublin Airport had to temporarily stop six times in the first eight weeks of this year due to illegal drone activity.

The Government has promised new anti drone technology to tackle the problem but it's not in place yet.

Ryanair is now calling on the Transport Minister to make it ready for this week and next - during the busy Easter period.

A spokesperson says Eamon Ryan must protect passengers so they don't suffer any closures or disruptions over the next few weeks.
