On a more serious note I read that the laws they introduced for flying a drone within 8km of an airport have a mandatory prison sentence attached; the judge has no choice but to lock them up if they are convicted. As for how long they get in prison well we will soon find out when that man from Swords who got arrested for flying a drone comes up in court.

Can you go closer so we can get a view of a plane touching down real close?
I always wanted to see it up close.
It’s probably easier if you stuck a laser pointer, one of those high powered ones, on it too see where your pointing at.
You guys can fly near airports, that’s amazing.
Jesus you were flying it over the airport? Learn to use a drone properly, you prick.

You nearly hit into my one, over at the watch tower.
Hi,
Minister for No Transport Eamon Ryan is looking to assemble a panel of experts to advise him on this urgent issue that is causing immense damage to air traffic into and out of Ireland. He is extremely concerned about this.
Would you be available for a quick call to discuss your participation. Eamon would be available for a chat on either the 12th or 13th of November 2026 and hopes to have a solution in place sometime before hell freezes over.
Yours

We got ‘em!
So I’ve lost connection before with my drone so what happens if that happens here and the drone is sucked into an engine and 200 people are killed ????
We’d like to offer you an all expenses paid FREE holiday in Ukraine where we can provide you with grenade armed Drones. Slava 🇺🇦
Gerry? That you??
FFS I missed my Ryanair flight today because of you. There’s 20 quid I’ll never see again. You’re messing with peoples’ lives here!

Someone was probably flying a drone in restricted airspace so they had to divert traffic.

Lad the height restriction is 120m. Any higher and you’re into commercial flying airspace
