New technology to take the wind out of drones at an airport.

Teicneolaíocht nua leis an ngaoth a bhaint de dhróin ag aerfort.

Transport Minister Éamon Ryan is proposing the implementation of a new technology system in Dublin Airport to keep drones out of the airport area.

Tá an tAire Iompair Éamon Ryan ag moladh córas nua teicneolaíochta a chur i bhfeidhm in Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath le dróin a choinneáil amach as líomatáiste an aerfoirt.

In the weekly Government meeting next Tuesday, Minister Ryan will set out the legal and regulatory requirements related to putting the specific technology in service at the airport.

Sa chruinniú seachtainiúil Rialtais Dé Máirt seo chugainn, leagfaidh an tAire Ryan amach na ceanglais dlíthiúla agus rialála a bhaineann leis an teicneolaíocht shainiúil a chur ag fónamh san aerfort.

The problem has been affecting the business of the airport for two months and planes had to be diverted again for a while yesterday evening due to a drone circling the area.

Tá an fhadhb ag cur isteach ar ghnó an aerfoirt le dhá mhí agus b'éigean eitleáin a chur malairt treo arís ar feadh scaithimh tráthnóna inné mar gheall ar dhrón a bheith ag guairdeall thart ar an áit.

It is against the law to fly a drone within a five kilometer boundary around the airport.

Tá sé in aghaidh an dlí drón a chur ag eitlit taobh istigh de theorainn chúig chiliméadar timpeall an aerfoirt.

Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary is not happy with Minister Ryan's approach, however.

Níl príomhfheidhmeannach Ryanair Michael O'Leary sásta le cur chuige an Aire Ryan, áfach.

He said that the appropriate technology should be put to work in the airport without delay instead of "dragging the legs".

Dúirt sé gur cheart an teicneolaíocht chuí a chur ag fónamh san aefort gan mhoill in áit "a bheith ag tarraingt na gcos".

Speaking on RTÉ, Lauriche said that Ryanair passengers should not rely on legislation that would not be implemented for three to six months.

Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, dúirt an Laoireach nár chóir go mbeadh paisinéirí Ryanair ag brath ar reachtaíocht nach gcuirfí i bhfeidhm go gceann trí nó sé mhí.

What members want is an immediate solution, he said.

Is réiteach láithreach bonn baill atá uathu, ar sé.

It's not just Michael O'Leary who is looking forward to it.

Ní hé Michael O'Leary amháin atá ar gor chuige.

Aer Lingus also wants "the main stakeholders" to speed up the work and solve the problem as soon as possible.

Tá Aer Lingus ag iarraidh freisin go gcuirfeadh "na príomhpháirtithe leasmhara" dlús leis an obair agus an fhadhb a fhuascailt an túisce is féidir.

Minister Ryan is to discuss the situation today with representatives of the Dublin Airport Authority, the Irish Aviation Authority, and others who have a voice on the issue.

Tá an tAire Ryan leis an scéal a phlé inniu le hionadaithe ó Údarás Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath, ó Údarás Eitlíochta na hÉireann, agus le dreamanna eile a bhfuil guthaíocht acu ar an gceist.
