Ryanair boss O’Leary says Ireland’s transport minister should quit over Dublin Airport drones

Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has labelled Ireland’s transport minister Eamon Ryan as “incompetent” and demanded he “take action or resign” after drones forced Dublin Airport to stop flights for a sixth time in 2023. The Dublin-based airline said it had to divert three Dublin-bound flights to Belfast and Shannon, after the airport halted flights for around 30 minutes on the evening of March 2 after a drone was seen in the area. O’Leary told Ireland’s public broadcaster RTÉ on March 3 that it should be “easy” for the airport to have the authority and technology to “disable drones”. Ryan
