Drones posed no threat because Zelensky plane had already landed, says Taoiseach

"There was no threat posed by drones to President Volodomyr Zelensky on his Irish visit last week because they appeared after he had landed, the Taoiseach has told the Dáil."

""His aircraft had landed quite some time before," Micheál Martin said, adding that he had been briefed on the incident and had received a report. But it was not appropriate to enter details in the public domain, he said."

Drones were observed after President Volodymyr Zelensky's aircraft had already landed during his Irish visit, meaning no threat was posed to him. The Taoiseach indicated the aircraft had landed some time before the drone sightings. A briefing and a report on the incident were completed and received by the Taoiseach. Details of the incident were withheld from the public as providing them was considered inappropriate for the public domain. The timing of the drone activity determined that there was no risk to the president during his arrival.
